DST time change causes Scheduled Aggregations to run at different times

[rtatco (Rowann Tatco)]

The UI for Scheduled Aggregation shows the times for which you want to run the jobs. But during DST, the time offset gets applied and causes the jobs to run an hour earlier, then adjusts back when DST is OFF.

This causes issues on our aggregations running off so we need to keep manually adjusting it during DST time change. Anybody else having this issue? Thanks!

I submitted an idea for this in case this also impacts you: https://ideas.sailpoint.com/ideas/GOV-I-3974

Hi @rtatco,

You can set the timezone in Virtual Appliance cluster and going forward your scheduled aggregations in UI will follow that timezone. So in future, you won’t need to change timings when DST are OFF and ON.

Thanks,

Thanks Mohammed, this sounds like a workable solution. Kind of weird though that SailPoint is not addressing this AS make sure you do NOT set your VA’s timezone to locations that observe DST as it could impact a laundry list of things.

Or should have set this as the default setting, with a disclaimer to change it at your own risk! But do appreciate this suggestion. Thanks so much!
