How to deal with Daylight Saving Time in HANA XSJOB?

[Andre_S]

Hello,

we're using the cron jobs in HANA XSJOB engine to schedule data extraction for reporting. As the cron job schedules need to be entered in UTC time it does not consider daylight saving time offsets.

What is the best practise to deal with this? We need the jobs running always at the same local time and I don't want to adjust the jobs schedules manually every spring and autumn?!

e.g. cron job schedule is "xscron": "* * * * 21 0 0" which means in winter time it will run at 22 o' clock while in summer time it runs at 23 o'clock. I need it to run all the time at 23 o'clock?

Thanks for any ideas.
André

hello André,

any news on this topic?

We have the same issue; changing manually the xsjob in March and October (and always in a non working day) is not the best solution

Thank you

Unfortunately not, I did the change in march manually on Sunday 😞
