subject: Counter and BAL Gidcks hot synchronised, Causing event date problems (PCO2B00d6)

i John,

s discussed, I have routed PC0280046 to QFP, who can assess whether it is safe to route to GDC (copied Susan Brindley to be
laware of this).

separately to this, please can SSC investigate why the BAL clock was consistently 34s adrift from the counter clocks (seen all
kay long on 30/08/2019 for branch 102868 nodes 2 and 5, but may be a wider issue than that).

Are the clocks still adrift?

Is this an estate wide problem?

What is the counter or BAL that was out from real time?

thanks,
[Ton

tt would therefore seems that nodes 3 and 5 are still adrift from the rest of the other counters in the branch by about 14
seconds.

It will try and investigate if there are any events created by these counters that will identify why they are not time synching
correctly. If I can find a key event we may then be able to look for that across the estate.

lAll nodes are currently in time synch, no time related events were visible for the time where the counters were out of time.

Ii believe that to go any further wee would need to talk with CC as they own the time synchronization features used on the
jcounters.

closing this call as I cannot make any further progress with the information available.
