Scott,

Help Systems response was to turn on the new feature, (GUI only) Enabling Daylight Saving Time Automation, introduced into the product in R12M13.

Enabling Daylight Saving Time Automation
In the Robot Schedule GUI, you can select a field called Enable Daylight Saving Time automation if you want your jobs to run at their scheduled run time on the day Daylight Saving Time starts without having to end and restart the product.
To select Enable Daylight Saving Time automation, do the following:
* Within the Robot Schedule GUI, right-click System Defaults in the Tree view and select Properties to display the General System Defaults window.
* On the Default Options tab, select Enable Daylight Saving Time automation.

Help Systems support engineer also confirmed that their software also uses an internal clock, (not the system clock) along with the internal forecast, and some other Robot system jobs.
They could not confirm why the 3:45 am and 4:00 am jobs were missed.

Paul

I would be curious to hear what Helpsystems said when he reported it. Maybe it's a new bug?

Buck,

Very interesting comments.

What version of Robot Schedule are you running?
I'm on R12M131170915.

Also, this is simply the I version, not the "Enterprise" version.

Paul

I am not sure how ROBOT/Scheduler is not supporting DST.

The original poster had this problem which no one else has come forward and said they have:
"Robot jobs failed to start at 3:45 am and 4:00 am."

His point was that Robot stopped worked *at some point* and had to be
recycled to "snap out of it".

We run Robot Schedule here, and have done for a long time - way more than ten years.
We have no jobs scheduled for 0200 through 0300.
We have never taken Schedule down around the time change.
We have never seen Schedule lock up / fail to run jobs after a time change.
