Hi,

 

We have one requirement that we want to run aem scheduler in EST timezone but our AEM server is running in UTC timezone. So is there a way to schedule scheduler in EST timezone?

we can not able to give client side time zone for scheduler. In cron expression, there is no option.

You can convert your EST time to Server Time (UTC) and get the cron expression.

UTC time is 5 hours ahead of Easter time, you can easily convert / calculate the time to schedule the job in set.

Hi @ektaa69139387,

You can set -Duser.timezone and force the server to use the required timezone in startup file: 

Use :-    -Duser.timezone=US/Central or -Duser.timezone=America/Los_Angeles etc.

I hope this would help you.

 

Thanks!!

@ektaa69139387 to test, you can simply use this block of code, System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault());
