How can I move the TIME Zone 30 minutes?

I need to modify the line “TIMEZONE=x” in the notes.ini ina a i5 Domino Server to -4:30 GMT. I tried several formats but always display GMT -4:00 with the “Sh Time” command. I tried:

TIMEZONE=4.5

TIMEZONE=4:30

TIMEZONE=4.30

TIMEZONE=4 30

I’ll appreciate any idea…

Take a look at the documentation for @Zone in Domino Designer. It describes the format used for representing timezones.

Here is a part of the documentation…

"For time zones that are not a full hour increment from GMT, the return value is:

mmhh.dstFlag

mm is the minutes component of the time relative to GMT.

hh is the hours component of the time relative to GMT

dstFlag is .1 if daylight-saving time is being observed. Otherwise, only the mmhh is returned.

For example, on a computer with a time zone setting eleven and a half hours west of GMT, with daylight-saving time disabled, @Zone returns: 3011

On a computer with a time zone setting ten and three-quarter hours west of GMT, with daylight-saving time enabled, @Zone returns: 4510.1

On a computer with a time zone setting nine and a half hours east of GMT, with daylight-saving time enabled, @Zone returns: -3009.1"

You can get a set of available timezones by checking the returned value of @LocationGetTZ(0). Looks like zones that are 30 minutes off have a prefix of “30”. The sign is the opposite of the adjustment from GMT.So:

(GMT-06:00) Chicago: TIMEZONE=6

(GMT-3:30) Newfoundland: TIMEZONE=3003

(GMT+03:00) Moscow: TIMEZONE=-3

(GMT+04:30) Kabul: TIMEZONE=-3004
