 | • The scheduler uses the system date as reference date. • If you are working in a multi-time zone situation and the server and clients run in different time zones, the notifications will be offset once you switch from winter time to summer time. If, for example the server runs in a UTC time zone (not taking into account daylight savings), the first time an alert is run, the start date time is translated to the UTC time for the scheduler. After that the scheduler runs server side in the server's time zone. |
