Title Automize time is 1 hour off in TimeZones that have daylight savings time
Date Updated 12/08/2005
Versions affected Automize 4.x+
OS affected Windows
Description The Automize tasks run 1 hour off schedule
Causes For regions that have daylight savings (summer) time change, java automatically
adjusts the time by 1 hour to account for this change. Windows does not automatically adjust the clock for Daylight savings.  Hence, Windows date/time display  does not  match the internal PC clock that java is referencing.
Solution 1) Shut down the Automize scheduler engine (Green button). Then shut down Automize
2) Click on the time in the taskbar to bring up the Date/time properties window (clock). This window is just a Microsoft clock program to set & display the actual internal PC clock.
3) Click on the Time Zone Tab
4) Select the 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings time' option at the bottom of this Tab dialog.
5) Your Computers time will now change by 1 hour. Please reset it back to the correct time.
6) Startup Automize. Check the Activity log. It should now correctly match your computers time.
