Configuring a server timezone

In large scale installations that are deployed world-wide, an IBM Cognos configuration might support a topology that supports 1000s of users in different time zones.  There would typically be a lot of dispatchers serving the reports.

But what with schedules for example?  When you schedule some report to be sent as 2 P.M., which time zone is it?  This is something that can be specified as a setting in IBM Cognos Configuration.

Open IBM Cognos Configuration, and from the "actions" menu, click "Edit Global Configuration".  You can find the server time zone in the "General" tab.

Click Save, and restart the dispatchers to apply the setting.
