| Title | Schedule is 1 hour off in some time zones |
| Date Updated | 12/08/2005 |
| Versions affected | JavaScheduler 2.5+, Automize 4.0+ |
| OS affected | All |
| Description | In some Australian time zones and some other time zones, scheduled events do not run at the allocated time, but are off by an hour. |
| Causes | This is an issue with the Sun's Java Machine (JRE
1.3). The Automize scheduler engine which runs all Automize tasks
is written in Java and uses JRE 1.3.0 This issue is documented in
the following articles: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4505478.html http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4506134.html This problem is supposedly fixed in Sun's JRE 1.3.1 and later. Some of these problems in 1.3.0, were due to the fact that these time zones had special rules in year 2000, and changed in 2001. 1.3.0 was released in 2000, and used the old 2000 rules. 1.3.1 was released in 2001, and uses the updated rules. |
| Solution | There are two solutions to this issue:
1) Windows users only: Use a workaround. Set your computer
clock to 'automatically adjust for daylight savings time' 2) Uses the latest versions of the JavaMachine. This problem is supposedly fixed in Sun's JRE 1.3.1 and later. Download and use JRE 1.3.1 or JRE 1.4.x. Please visit the following
knowledge base article to download and use
one of the above two JRE's: |
