This example illustrates the fields and controls on the PeopleTools Options page.

The base time zone that you define for PeopleTools must match the time zone used by your database. Any discrepancy between the two leads to inaccurate time processing.

To set the base time zone:

1. Select a time zone from the Base Time Zone field.

   Values are maintained in the Time Zones component (TIMEZONEPNLGRP).

   See Maintaining Time Zones.

2. Click the Save button.

   Note: After selecting a base time zone during installation, avoid changing it. There is no automated processing to translate existing time information in the database to a new base time zone, and if you change the time zone defined on the PeopleTools Options page, no adjustment is made to existing time data in your database.
