I'm not understanding why Robot Schedule needs to be recycled.savings
It must not be checking the system time, but using their own internal
clock.
Support sent me this link, illustrating a new feature for daylight
time they just added in 12.13 or higher , available in the GUI only.the

To the original question; I have never seen Robot have problems after
time change.if
Like Jerry - we have automated our shutdown/restart of Robot Schedule
during the time change.
For "Spring Ahead" We have a job that run *every* second Sunday of the
month at 01:58. It then has an OPAL object attached that skips the job
it's NOT March:it
Execute schedule instructions in OPAL Object CHGTIME_S
@@MONNO NE 03
SKIP
END
If the job DOES run, it:
shuts down Robot
waits 4 minutes
starts up robot
sends me an email that it ran
submits a job to run at 0900 to text me and say 'the time is now 0900'.
When I get this text I make sure it actually is 9 am.

We use Robot extensively at several sites.
We have a job scheduled in Robot to end Robot Schedule at 1:58am and
restart it at 2:02am. It then puts itself on hold for next DST change.
This job is scheduled for Sundays. Normally it is on hold. We release
sometime during the week before DST although that could be put on athe
calendar so you can spend more time loafing.

We just started using Robot Schedule / Robot Replay the last severalmonths.
This was our first experience of a daylight savings time change with
product.
issue?
System time auto changed from 2:00 am to 3:00 am on 3/11.
Robot jobs failed to start at 3:45 am and 4:00 am.
Recycling Robot Schedule resolved the issue.
