Time Zone Issue - Daylight Savings

Former Member
0 Kudos

Good Day,

As our russian Colleagues team schedules jobs for month closing (every month...) we sometimes face an issue in which the system time is incorrect, thus, the closing jobs do not start on time.

The error is due to daylight savings and time zone changes. The system, thinks it should start a job at 3:00 AM, but does it on 4:00 AM.

The question is : How can we avoid such problems ? Is there a sync mechanizm that can be activated ?

For example, in Russia, there was a recent decision, taken by the govmt. to change time zones, and to cancel daylight savings... but Our system wasn't updated accordingly - a ticket had to be created only for this. And this is just 1 company code.

This issue is very important, as closing jobs will not run on time.... can you confirm there is sun an auto-process which takes care of all systems and all company codes ?

Thank you !

Hello

I'm afraid there are no solution other than having user scheduling based on the system time and not the local time.

A solution would be to use an external job scheduler such as SAP CPS.

501078 - Time zones in background processing

Unfortunately, within the dialog transactions of the SAP background processing, there is no support in the form of a translation function. The system interprets the specified time as system time.
