  • 1.  Set different timezone without using AutosysTime zone attribute

    Posted Apr 02, 2020 11:33 AM
    Our Autosys application is configured in PST time zone, We have a JOB which need to run in SGT(Singapore) timezone which is 15 hours ahead of PST time zone. Can we set the JOB to run in PST time without using Timezone attribute of autosys.

    Our goal is to create all jobs to run in same PST time zone without using time zone attribute.

    Query isn't very clear?
    Jobs default to the TZ Scheduler is configured with. You'd need the timezone JIL/job attribute only for jobs that need to run in a different timezone.
    Check the $AUTOUSER/autosys.$SHELL.$HOSTNAME profile for the TZ value to see which timezone SCheudler is running with. 
    Since you have worked out the time difference between PST and SGT already, you may just use the start_times attribute to mention the corresponding time in PST.

    Hi,

    I would suggest using the TZ in the job definition.  Using the 15 hour difference will only be correct part of the year, assuming that where you are uses daylight savings.  Singapore does not seem to use daylight savings from what I have read.  What is the resistance to using the TZ?  The times that are displayed for autorep and next start times are done in server time (PST in your case).
