Resetting the System Time

It is recommended that the system time on the replay system host be changed to a value that approximately matches the capture start time just before replay is started. Otherwise, an invalid data set may result when replaying time-sensitive workloads. For example, a captured workload that contains SQL statements using the SYSDATE and SYSTIMESTAMP functions may cause data divergence when replayed on a system that has a different system time. Resetting the system time will also minimize job scheduling inconsistencies between capture and replay.
