MFT and Daylight Saving Time DST

Post by Support_Jake »

Overview
During daylight saving, scheduled jobs may run one hour off after the transition to or from Daylight Saving Time and Jobs scheduled to run during the skipped hour in the Spring Daylight Saving Time change are affected and may not run as expected.

Environment
GoAnywhere MFT - all versions

Resolution
Restart the GoAnywhere MFT service to recognize the correct java time.
In the spring, clocks are turned forward 1 hour from 2:00am to 3:00am. GoAnywhere jobs scheduled to run during that hour will not run. Prior to DST, you will need to reschedule those jobs to run after 3:00am.
