Re: Robot Schedule failed across daylight savings time change

Sorry for the late reply, but still trying to catch up on email...

...

I'm a bit surprised at all these DST issues. Wasn't the OS changed some

time ago to do a clock slowdown or speedup to compensate and not ?>do a
flat jump to new time?

Roger Harman

Ths OS does indeed support a slowdown/speedup when performing a time
adjustment. DST however is not an adjustment, it's a jump.

That is exactly what I used to do with AJS at a previous employer. Just
peace of mind. Fortunately, we had a big enough window to allow it.
Others don't have that luxury.

Don't use Robot Schedule, so I know nothing about it. We're using AJS
(Advanced Job Scheduler) which has no issues with DST. So it can be done.

That being said, I never schedule jobs on AJS from 2am-3am. It's always
either 1:59am or 3:01am. Not because AJS can't do it, it's for MY peace of
mind.

I'm not understanding why Robot Schedule needs to be recycled.
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

savings

time they just added in 12.13 or higher , available in the GUI only.

To the original question; I have never seen Robot have problems after the
time change.

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

if

it's NOT March:

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

it

sometime during the week before DST although that could be put on a
calendar so you can spend more time loafing.

We just started using Robot Schedule / Robot Replay the last several

months.

This was our first experience of a daylight savings time change with

the

product.

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.
Anyone from the group using these products and experiencing similar

issue?

I have an open ticket with Help Systems.
