Time Zones in Jedox

Jedox clients and offices are located all over the world, so a standard time is used so that communication between components can be facilitated. Jedox uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) as a reference time format.

The main factor for time-related functionality (including time zone) on the server side is the server time.

Changes in timezone impact Jedox components in various ways:

  • Time zone changes can influence the times logged by Integrator processes, including etlserver.log or schedule_server.log. These times are also shown in the execution log of a specific execution in the Integrator Monitor UI. Note that times that are logged before a seasonal time change are not retroactively changed in the log.
  • Timezones can also affect when scheduled tasks are executed. For example, a task scheduled to run at 5am will run when the Integrator server says it is 5am.
  • Changes to the general system time affect the previous points, as well as times in log files of other components running on the system (e.g. olap_server.log).

As of Jedox 2020.1, the time zone in which the server is located is specified in a message in the olap.log file as well as in the header of requests.txt. This information will help Jedox Support solve issues more efficiently.
