NANC 310

Time Reference in the NPAC SMS

Origination Date :02/18/2000

Originator:AT&T

Description:

Change the NPAC SMS system time to Network Time (Central Standard Time year round).  Therefore, all application level decisions involving date/time would be done in CST.  Also, date/time fields in the PDUs, except CMIP Departure Time, over the interface would be CST.  The NPAC SMS would store all date/times in CST.  However, we may still want the CMIP departure time in the access control of the interface to still be GMT/UTC.

Final Resolution:

Functional Backwards Compatible:  NO

November 00 Meeting:  The LNPA WG agreed that the only way to address the underlying business issues for which this change order was proposed was to identify them individually and address them separately. It was stated that there is no practical way for NPAC to store data in anything but GMT since the NPAC runs on UNIX and UNIX uses GMT. As the originator of this ‘accepted’ change order, AT&T proposed withdrawing it and the group agreed.  The change order is to be moved to cancel-pending.

January 01 – Removed from the list by LNPAWG.
