Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

A Workflow is started using a logical date:
 

<Please see attached file for image>

Therefore, the task inside the workflow should also start with this logical date. However, it can happen that a Sub Task starts with a seemingly incorrect logical date. This happens when the Time Zone setting in the job is different from the timezone setting in the workflow, AND a timezone is passed when starting the workflow using a logical date.

Cause

Cause type:
By design
Root Cause: When you pass a Timezone with the logical date, this does not override the timezone set in the Workflow or in the individual Job.

Environment

OS Version: N/A

Resolution

N/A

Fix Status: No Fix

Fix Version(s):
N/A

Additional Information

Workaround :
Either omit the Timezone in passing the logical date, or set the same timezone for both the workflow and the job.
