Time Zones
Time zones can be specified for jobs and orders starting with JobScheduler version 1.3.12.2347.
Instead of local time the JobScheduler engine uses UTC time.
- The time zone of the JobScheduler is configurable with <config time_zone="...">.
- Time zone names are used from the tz database, for example time zone "Europe/Berlin".
- The time zone of jobs and orders is configurable with the tag <run_time time_zone="...">.
- The timestamp column in log files is displayed in the JobScheduler's time zone.
- The file scheduler.log uses local time as before.
- Timestamps in XML answers are marked with the suffix "Z" for UTC time.
The JobScheduler uses the package Joda Time for time arithmetic.
