i have time difference gap between database server and application
server. our system engineers advised us the following

1) a file /etc/ntp.conf with entries as below
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
tracefile /etc/ntp.trace
server abc

with a "more /etc/ntp.drift" giving
-22.791 0

basically, we use smit to pull the time together and it works.
but what is the purpose of the above files.

thanks

NTP is Network Time Protocol. Do some Googling to read up about it.
