Time Change modified all report run times

[djsiders]

Upon changing to DST this past weekend, all of our scheduled report times moved ahead by 1 hour.  For example a report that was scheduled to run at 5AM now runs at 6AM.  This is consitant for all scheduled reports on the server.

The linux machine timezone is EST5EDT and is reporting correctly, and the set time zone on the scheduled reports is EST5EDT.

Example of one of my report setups:

TZ: EST5EDT

Start On: 11-11-2009 06:05

Simple Recurrance - Indefinitely

Every 1 days

This report now runs at 7:05 and looking back at the save PDF version in the repository, they were all time stamped at 6:05, until the 3/14/2010 report ran, and from then on are time stamped 7:05.  Wondering if there are any known issues, if anyone else has seen this, possibly a MySql setup problem (backend schedule storage).

That's the intended functionality of the "Simple Recurrence" option in Quartz (and therefore in JasperServer). Each ocurrence is one day after the last one. You wrote, "a report that was scheduled to run at 5AM now runs at 6AM". But really your situation is this: "a report that was scheduled to run 24 hours after it last ran now runs 24 hours after it last ran."

But I understand your point. Since you want it to run at the same time each day, you should use the Calendar Recurrence. That will give you what you want.

Thanks for the reply, it's exactly what I was looking for. I figured it was the way it was supposed to work, was just hoping someone could explain why and you did! Thanks
