I also encountered an issue with a scheduled task that triggered incorrectly a few hours after the daylight saving time change in Spain.
The timing error isn’t straightforward. It’s not simply a matter of being exactly one hour off, but it affected some backups, while other tasks, scheduled further away from the 03:00 time change, were unaffected.
I suppose you could call it a minor issue, given that it only happens twice a year on specific, well-known dates.
I recall from my time working as an IT consultant that the customer’s administrators would shut down all the company’s Oracle servers for the entire night whenever the time change occurred, just to avoid any issues. It was an established, accepted routine.
Best regards,
Alberto
