COGNOS ANALYTICS - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CHANGE RESULTS IN AN UNEXPECTED SHIFT IN SCHEDULE START TIMES

Troubleshooting


Problem

Following a move to, or from, Daylight Saving Time (DST) schedules might be off by one hour. For example, a schedule that shows a run time of 9:00 might run at 8:00, or 10:00.

The issue affects only intraday schedules. These schedules have the "Daily time interval" box checked and specify parameters that enable them to execute multiple times per day.

The issue can be more pronounced following a schedule synchronization. Commonly referred to as “NC Drop”.

Intraday Schedule Example:

image-20231115103739-1

Symptom

Intraday schedule start times shift inconsistently, up or down by one hour, during the year.
