For a multi server CLM system it is important that the reference clock used by each server is accurate and consistent. One way to do this is to configure the system to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) as a reference for each server. This topic explains how to do this.

Configuring the NTP system clock

If the Install Applications process was not configured to enable the System Clock to use an NTP server then a CRJAZ2108W diagnostic warning will appear on each applications admin page. To clear this warning do the following on each admin page.

  1. Open the applications admin page and click on Advanced Properties

    diagnostic clock warning

  2. Scroll down the Advanced Properties page to the com.ibm.team.repository.service.diagnostics.basic.internal.SystemClockDiagnostic section and click Edit.

    advanced properties clock section

  3. Enter the a value for the NTP server address property and click Preview to exit edit mode.

    enter ntp server address

  4. Scroll back to the top of the Advanced Properties page and click Save, then wait until the configuration change is saved.

    save changes

  5. Navigate to the applications diagnostics page and Run the System Clock diagnostic to confirm the configuration change was successful.

    rerun clock diagnostics

  6. Repeat for each application.
