KBI 311360 Issue Addressed: Relator Using Local Time Could Run Outside Of Schedule If Time Zones Of Some Monitored Nodes Are Ahead Of Scheduling Engine

Version

Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1601-C and earlier

Date

Thursday, 17 March 2016

Summary

When Relator is scheduled based on local time of monitored Nodes, and time zones of some monitored Nodes are ahead of Scheduling Engine, the Relator might run once each time when the date is changed for those time zones

For example, PANA144 has a time zone setting of ‘GMT -4:00’, while time zone of Scheduling Engine is ‘GMT -5:00’

It is one hour ahead

If it is used in the Relator with option ‘Schedule Monitoring Tasks Based On Time Zone Settings Of Monitored Server/Device’, the Relator might run outside of the schedule

The issue has been addressed in Argent AT 3.1A-1601-T6

Technical Background
