2731048 - Background Jobs Change Their Schedule

Symptom

You have scheduled a background job and at some point it changes the schedule by one hour.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Application and User Management workcenter.
  2. Select the Background Jobs view.
  3. Select any Background Job.
  4. Click on Reschedule.
  5. Set up a Recurrence at 8am daily.

During the Daysaving Time change, the run is executed at 7 am.

Cause

  • The time is saved always in UTC from the backend.
  • When you set up a time, the adjustment to your time zone is only in the display.
  • When your time zone changes (due to Daylight Saving), the schedule for your timezone is adjusted.

Resolution

  • Currently there is no option to automatically adjust the difference in Daylight Saving.
  • You can manually reschedule the background jobs.
