RE: Time zone followed for execution of a scheduled script ?
If a scheduled script deployment schedule is changed by a user , which time zone will the script execute in ?
I am aware that the time zone the schedule is displayed to the user is the one set in the user preferences .
Thank you for reading this . Any help is appreciated !
Hi bp,
The time zone doesn’t really matter except in displaying the information to the user.
If I’m UTC and set it to run every hour 10:00 until 16:00.
Then if a user in EST logs in they will see every hour 05:00 until 11:00.
In the background, I suspect it’s all stored in PT so hourly from 02:00 until 08:00.
The only bit I’m not 100% sure on is what happens with respect to DST and have never really come across a situation where that is vital.
Thanks,
Chris
Thanks for your reply Chris. NetSuite displays a message while editing the deployment schedule to notify the user that the deployment was created in another time zone. So, I believe time zones do have a bearing on the execution of the script .

I am curious about the actual answer here as well. I have documented some frustrations with how time zones and scheduled deployments work when deploying via SDF in this github issue: https://github.com/oracle/netsuite-suitecloud-sdk/issues/645. Script Deployments with a scheduled component seem to adjust based on the time zone preference of the user who saved it last.
