Need to have a future date to be set as SYSDATE for a particular instance on an Application server residing on a UNIX box. This UNIX box being shared by many other instances.

The only way to even slightly change the date for a single application server, without changing the system date of the box, is to change the timezone of the unix account that the software runs as. Timezone is an environment variable that can be set individually.

It is never a good idea to change the SYSDATE. More in case of a bug that leaves it future set!
It is better to write a special date routine that adds to the SYSDATE.
Though I guess that this is not an option.
