CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

There is a line in the Automation Engine log files that shows the current time difference to the primary server (where the PWP is located):

There is a time difference of '0/00:00:10' or '10' seconds to the Primary Server.

There are also lines that show the difference between the primary server and Agents (e.g. an Agent named WIN01):

Host 'WIN01' has a time difference of '0000000001' seconds to the server.

 

It is important to keep time differences to a minimum, specifically for:

a. Jobs with time dependencies and expect responses
b. Database returning calls

Little or no time difference is an indication of a healthy system.
