Synchronize time stamps after changing the time zone

After you change the time zone you must stop and restart the DeltaV Database Server to ensure that time stamps in the system are correct. From any workstation:

  1. Close any DeltaV applications
  2. Select Start → DeltaV Engineering → Database Administrator.

    The DeltaV Database Administrator dialog opens.

  3. Select File → Shutdown Server to stop the Database Server.
  4. Click OK on the Shutdown Server dialog that appears.
  5. Wait until the text in the status line of the Database Administrator dialog is Database Server is shutdown, then select File → Connect to Server to restart the Database Server.

If time stamps are not correct after completing these steps it may be necessary to restart the workstation.
