Error description
In the scheduler, you can only specify a start time, and then a time interval for repeating a job. This method does not account for time changes such as daylight savings time. Therefore, some scheduled jobs might not run at the expected time. For example, if you set a job to run at 1AM with an interval of 86400 seconds, the next job might run at 2am due to daylight savings changes.

Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: Users on WebSphere Commerce V7 Fix Pack 9 PROBLEM ABSTRACT: More robust and flexible timing options for the WebSphere Commerce scheduler BUSINESS IMPACT: Administrators can specify a fixed time for the job scheduler in WebSphere Commerce Administration console. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
This enhancement APAR introduces a check box in the Administration console. The option is displayed when you are configuring a job in the scheduler. With this check box, the job runs at the specified time and automatically adjusts for time changes such as "daylight savings time". If the job scheduler is set to be run daily at a fixed time, you can clear the fixed time check box and leave the scheduler interval field blank. This means the job runs on the specified time, even in "daylight savings time".
