QMC Daily Trigger - When moving from daylight savings time

[SariK]

We have task scheduled via QMC every night at 03:30 am.  Will this task be executed twice  in that night when moving from daylight savings time?

As you probably have noticed by now, no. The clock will go back to 2:00 AM after 2:59 AM. If you have your reload after 3:00 AM, it should not run twice.

Here is some additional information on reload tasks in the QMC - see the part on daylight savings:

Please also consider disparate data sources, daylight savings can be a pain when suddenly external data doesn't become available at the 'same time'.

Thank you for the answer.

Here in Finland when we switched from summer time to winter time, the clocks were moved one hour back from 04.00 to 03:00.

But I got answer from one of my colleague: When task has been once executed via QMC at 03:30am it will not be executed twice a day. That is because the task got next execution time (Started/Scheduled column in QMC) to next day.
