Hi, 

 

At the moment scheduling ODX  task is done using UTC time

but Package execution schedule to run on local time

As there is clearly dependency between the two, it makes it extra difficult to synchronize the task execution and the package execution. 

My suggestion is have the ODX task schedule also run on server's local time. Or alternatively enforce UTC time on package execution. 

Ideally would be to integrate the ODX and Package executions into a single scheduler container.

    The UTC time makes it extra difficult to align task schedules. Between ODX Server and execution package and ODX server and datasource load time windows.

    Thanks for your product feedback.

    We have passed your input to our R&D department for further evaluation.

    The roadmap of our product is focused on a split in ODX, MSW, Semantic Layer and Customer Portal.

    With that split we will see new features and functions appear that might exceed your expectations or make the request obsolete.

    I would also like the ODX server to be able to use a specific time zone with daylight savings (local time). I understand that UTC is used because the ODX uses Azure for its operational data but this makes it really difficult to manage for us users.

    Is there any insight when and if this feature will be available in TimeXtender / ODX server? As said by Martin Larsson and Coen Donders, it makes managing schedules a bit tricky, thanks in advance and kind regards

    Our future v21 release is expected to enhance overall scheduling experience.

    This will include executing and scheduling ODX tasks and MDW/SSL execution packages together in one job that can automatically calculate dependencies between the included objects to ensure the correct execution order. This also solves manually aligning the different time settings.
