Examples for Using Time Zones

The following examples show several TimeZone-specific combinations and how these affect a job which either runs alone or in a workflow.

Several TimeZones are used so that differences in using them become clear. Nevertheless, Automic recommends using complex combinations only in exceptional cases. Keeping clear structures for your processes should always be given priority.

The job properties in the workflow refer to the earliest start time, for example.

Object	TimeZone
Client	VIENNA

The job uses TimeZone NEWYORK.
