Periodic Jobs are not running on time although "Force adjustment on time frame" is set when the start time is 00:15 am and the frequency is set "with a gap…to previous run".
Especially the first interval – 00:15 (and the next 04:15) is jumped over.
Investigation- A simple Job was created for this (e.g.: a simple Windows Ping job like 127.0.0.1 -n 60)
- Let this job run periodically with the following settings:
Frequency | With a gap of: 04:00
Time frame | Between 00:15 and 23:59 + Check set on "Force adjustment on time frame"
Days | Weekdays – Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Sat, Sun
Range | Start date: 08.08.2016 – End Date 22.08.2016
The screenshots below illustrate these settings.

- The Job is running in the Client_Queue and using a 1:1 copy of the TZ.CET object as a TimeZone object.
Results Actual: The job was initially started on 08.08.2016 13:19:30 (UTC) | 15:20:30 (local time)
The job ran the first time on 08.08.2016 13:19:42 (UTC) | 15:19:42 (local time) and ended at 13:20:41 (UTC) | 15:20:41 (local time)
The Time Switch was at 22:15:14 | 00:15:14 but the job was not executed at that time.
Also not 4 hours later, like set on the time frame Tab in the Period but at 05:23:11 | 07:23:11.
So there is a bigger gap between the last run and the next run after the time switch.
Expected: The job runs in the TimeFrame Set beginning with the StartTime or at least with the defined Frequency after the TimeSwitch.
