IT30228: SCHEDULED REPORTS RUN BY STORAGE INSIGHTS CUSTOMERS IN AUSTRALIATIME ZONE DO NOT RUN ON EXPECTED DAY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Scheduling a report to run on Monday 14:00 AEST will run on
  Tuesday 14:00 AEST.   The Storage Insights server is not
  accommodating for the Date Line when it stores the run on Day,
  ie Monday AEST is stored as Monday CDT - the correct day should
  be saved as Sunday CDT.   This problem should also be present
  with other time zones in the region.
  

Local fix

• Schedule the reports to run one day earlier than the desired
  day.  ie Schedule report to run on Sunday 14:00 AEST in order to
  receive the report on Monday 14:00 AEST.
