Hi,
I have to test my system for future dates and for that I need to set my server date to a date in future.How can I do that?

Db2 version : DB2 SDK 7.2.6
OS : AIX 5.1.0.0

Thanks in advance.

Metal.

I believe that if you set the OS date & Time that that is what DB2 uses.

Google is your friend. I googled for you with the words 'setting date on aix' and this is the first hit:

Good luck.

Ps. before changing your date, it might be wise to backup any database which contains data you need after changing back the date. Just in case.
