Managing daylight saving time and time-initiated automation
BMC AMI Ops Automation
supports running time-initiated EXECs and time-initiated Rules through a daylight saving time change without requiring you to recycle
BMC AMI OpsA
.
In earlier releases of BMC AMI OpsA, when you changed the IBM MVS Local Time to observe daylight saving time, time-initiated EXECs and time-initiated Rules would not detect the change in the MVS Local Time; you had to restart the BMC AMI OpsA address space.
You must still carefully review your time-initiated EXECs or time-initiated Rules to determine how the time change might affect your automation. As the examples in Scenarios show, you might discover that the time-initiated automation might execute more or fewer times depending on whether the MVS Local Time is changed to an earlier or later hour.
