Time Zones

To schedule workload based on different time zones, you identify the time zone based on its abbreviation or a major world city in that time zone.

Note: The specified time zone is only used to evaluate the schedule criteria before it is converted to the server's time zone. The schedule follows the daylight saving changes of the server's time zone, not the specified time zone. If the specified time zone and the server's time zone have a different daylight saving period, the scheduled times displayed in CA WA Desktop Client (converted to the local computer's time zone) will vary according to the rules of the server's time zone.

The following table displays the time zones you can identify based on their local time abbreviations:
