Time Zones

Time zones can be specified for jobs and orders:
FEATURE AVAILABILITY STARTING FROM RELEASE 1.3

Set time zone for an order / job in JOE:

JOE-155 - Getting issue details... STATUS

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 time zone for schedules is not configurable with the tag <schedule time_zone="..."> - instead use <run_time schedule="..." time_zone="..."> see JS-1397 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
• 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.
