Miami requires you to set this, as do several other programs - in other words, you probably already have it set. If not, here's what the ENV:TZ file should contain; A three-character timezone code (eg. GMT, EST, WET), followed by a number showing the offset from GMT. If you are x hours behind GMT, then the number should be positive, not negative. If you are ahead of GMT, then the number should be negative. During daylight saving time (DST), an extra code is added. The first part is identical to before (except the offset, which is -1 from the previous value), and an additional three or four character code showing the DST name is added to the end. eg. during British Summer Time, I use the TZ string GMT-1BST If the TZ variable is not set, then FACTS will default to not adjusting the time obtained from the server - usually this is UTC (GMT). A better description of ENV:TZ can be found in the Miami docs Please note that if you live in a "half hour" timezone, you should only set the whole number of hours here. There is also a "long" version of ENV:TZ, which can be specified on the GUI by selecting Settings->AutoDST->Long TZ Format This includes all the DST timezone information in addition to the above.
