After setting the clocks to Standard Time a scheduled job runs an hour earlier although the time of the server has been correctly changed. Example: Scheduled job is defined for 2.30 pm, but now runs at 1.30 pm.

This behaviour is expected if a schedule is based on an interval due to the underlying library for the scheduler. If 'Interval Based' is specified, the schedule does not adjust when switching between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time. We added this information to our documentation: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/WebUI/Adding_a_Scheduled_Task.htm?Here is some additional information: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/faq.html#FAQ-daylightSavingsFor jobs that have to run at an exact time of the day, I recommend using a CRON expression instead of the interval. This resource describes some best practices: http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/best-practices.html#daylight-savings-time
