Task Schedule with Time Zone Exception

1. Version 

2. Introduction to the problem

The scheduling period is set in the scheduled task. The "start time" in the scheduling cycle is displayed according to the "server time zone at project startup".

For example, the browser time zone is East Eighth District, and the server time zone is East Seventh District.

If the scheduled task is set to execute at 2020-01-03 13:00:00, then it will eventually be executed at  2020-01-03 13:00:00 in East Seventh District, which is  East Eighth District  Executed at 2020-01-03 14:00:00.

For projects of 5.1.14 and later versions, if the time zone of the project server is inconsistent with the time zone of the browser, a prompt will appear: The current server time is XXX, please pay attention to the influence of time zone on the timing of timing scheduling!

As shown below:

This article will briefly introduce the method of modifying the server time zone, and how to convert the time in different time zones.

2.1 Windows system

The administrator logs in to the Windows server, click "Control Panel>Clock and Region>Change the time zone", select the correct time zone, and click "OK", as shown below:

Modify the /etc/sysconfig/clock file under the server, and the modified content is:

Note: This example uses "Shanghai" as an example.

ZONE="Asia/Shanghai"UTC=falseARC=false

After the modification is completed, the project needs to be restarted.

For example, the time zone of the server is West Ten District, and it is hoped that the scheduled task will be started at 2021-03-04 13:00:00 in East Eight District.

The west tenth area is  UTC-10, the east eighth area is  UTC+8, and the west tenth area is 18 hours earlier than the east eighth area, then the task should be set in the west tenth area 2021-03-03 19: 00:00 Start.
