Hello Experts,
We are using GMT time zone to schedule some of our jobs and the DST flag is enabled for this time zone.
In time zone definition, I can see that the 'Change to Daylight Saving Time on' is updated as 5th Sunday of March and 'Revert to Normal Time on' is updated as 5th Sunday in October.
But there are only 4 Sundays in March and October 2018. So I am bit confused how its going to get adjusted automatically. Does anyone using GMT timezone with DST flag enabled ? Is it working as expected ?
Even if we maintain as 5th Sunday, is it going to check the last Sunday of that Month ?
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Abin
I think I found the answer to this question. I went back to the 11.2 documentation and the following is stated:
A setting of '5' always denotes the last possible defined weekday, even if the month is made up of only four weeks.
So looking at GMT for 2018 I can see the DST takes place on the following days:
Sunday March 25th
Sunday October 28th
In both examples these dates are the 4th Sunday of the Month. So with a value of 5 it will consider those the last Sunday of the month.
