Operating System Requirements
The change in the dates for Daylight Saving Time for 2010 could require additional patches and updates from you hardware and other application vendors. This includes but is not necessarily limited to operating systems and databases. Please contact the appropriate vendors to confirm the proper updates for your environment.
Tidal Enterprise Scheduler
Potential problems resulting from the daylight saving time change can be avoided by executing the following procedural steps:
1. Ensure your Master(s) is at the recommend patch level or higher; note minimum patch levels for Tidal Enterprise Scheduler are listed above.
2. Ensure your JAVA virtual machine, operating system and database are properly updated with any DST related updates; note minimum patch levels for JAVA are listed above.
3. Refrain from modifying job rules 1 hour prior to the time change.
Note: The minimum JVM requirements apply to the Tidal Enterprise Scheduler Master as well as the Tidal Enterprise Scheduler Agents for UNIX, Linux and HPUX.
If any issues are encountered during the daylight saving time change we are recommending the following procedural steps:
1. Stop the Master, and backup Master if applicable.
2. Restart the Master, and backup Master if applicable.
3. Check all component connections.
4. Validate the production schedule.
