BI to use application timezone
Description
We have several schedule report jobs running and the only timezone available for these is GMT.
We are now in BST (British summer time) so all these schedules are running 1 hour too late.
The application timezone is BST but this isn't available in the schedule timezone list. If the timezone was available, we would still have to change the report schedules twice a year to deal with the changed timezone.
We want the reports to run at e.g. 11:00am no matter what timezone we're in. The application definately changes between GMT and BST automatically so we want BI to do this too.
We're on Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.9
Use Case and Business Need
Some of our scheduled outputs are used to populate other systems and these updates are all based on the time of the schedule running.
As our schedules are now running 1 hour late, the updates to the other systems is getting missed.
Why can BI not use the application time for scheduling.
More details
Updates to other applications are being delayed because the BI schedules are running at the wrong time.
