SA AMs to Support Agents in Multiple Timezones

Enhance SAz/OS to allow the agents running under an AM to run in different local timezones.

Currently, if an AM does a failover/takeover to an SAM running in a different timezone, SVPs and other time-related elements could be adversely affected.

Would like to have SA enhanced to permit AM takeover between timezones with no adverse effect.

    Hello John,
    Thank you for this RFE. The support of local time zones is a valid requirement and we have got similar requests and questions from other customers as well.
    The related implementation effort however will not be trivial and requires thorough design work.
    We will try to add this functionality to the SA z/OS development plan. But due to other plan pressure items, we can't commit whether we can deliver such a function in a future SA z/OS release.

    Thanks to all who contribute with comments and votes for this RFE!

    Best Regards,
    Raimund Thielker
