Cause
AutoSys 11.3.6 SP8 CUM1 or lower do not handle the Europe/Moscow timezone correctly.
Environment
Release : 11.3.6
Component : CA Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)
Resolution
This issue is fixed in AutoSys 12.0 or higher.
For 11.3.6x releases, as a workaround, use timezone MSK-3 instead. This can be set using the TZ variable in the $AUTOUSER/autosys.sh.<hostname> file:
TZ=MSK-3
export MSK-3
Stop and start the Scheduler and Application Server for the change to take effect.
