Issue/Introduction
Error Message :
N/A
When setting a JOBP to recurring execution (C_PERIOD), it bases its timezone on the AE database UTC timezone instead of the specified timezone set in the Recurring Execution properties.
Determine if you are affected by this:
AE version 10.0.6+hf.1.build.515
Client timezone settings = PST
UI timezone settings = PST
User timezone settings = PST
JOBP recurring execution properties = PST
1. Create a JOBP
2. Right-click on the JOBP > Execute... > Recurring (make sure the current time you are activating the C_PERIOD is around 6:30PM PST)
3. Under Frequency tab, select At time: 00:01
4. Under Frequency tab, put in a TimeZone = PST
5. Days and Range tabs are left with the default settings
6. A pop up will ask if Yes, you want to run the C_PERIOD immediately or No, you want it to run the next day as expected. Select No.
EXPECTED: The C_PERIOD runs the next day at 12:01AM.
ACTUAL: The C_PERIOD doesn't run the next day at 12:01AM because it is already past the 12:01AM in UTC timezone because it is not going off the PST time zone set in the properties, it is going off the AE db's timezone.
