Changing systemtime

Changing systemtime

I want to change my PC systemtime without closing my zenOn runtime. Do I have to expect any problems by doing so?

It´s NOT recommended to change the systemtime without closing the zenOn runtime! Even changing just some minutes or seconds can cause various problems. (eg. in the modules: Timecontrol, Archives, HD-Management...)
When changing the time forward, it can cause the system to create a big ammount of data for the archive witch can in some cases lead in an out of memory situation.
When changing the time backwards you may get double entries for the archive, this can cause troubles when viewing and exporting the data.
