Hi, Yong Huang gave me the correct way to go, see How To Change Timezone for 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure [ID 1209444.1]. Once the required change has been made to $GRID_HOME/crs/install/s_crsconfig_<nodename>_env.txt and the ohasd re-started, the timezone specified in the aforementioned file kicks in when that database comes back up. Thanks Yong. Regards Pete -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
