We would like to suggest this feature also, like adding a time zone selector when defining a time trigger.
Here is our scenario. We have 30+ jobs in this scenario, but for simplicity we well talk about them as if they were 3 doing a similar thing, so the jobs are: one must turn on an Amazon Instance based on California time. The second must turn another Amazon Instance on Arizona time. The third one must turn yet another Amazon Instance on Monterrey time.
So, we set up those jobs with the current daylight saving settings and everything is ok. But when a daylight saving change comes (in November), we must do the following changes:
- The California job schedule stays the same, because it goes the same as the server time.
- The Arizona job we have to change it +1 hour, because there is NO dayLight saving period in Arizona.
- The Monterrey job we have to remember to change it +3 hours two weeks after that, because in Mexico these changes take effect 2 weeks apart from that in the US.
We will have to reverse these changes also in March, when the daylight saving period starts again next year.
So, as we keep adding more jobs like these, it gets so very much complicated to mantain the job start times.
Our suggestion is that along with the interval/custom trigger time, we could define to which TimeZone it applies to.
Thank you for your time.
