I was wondering the same thing when I was writing this response too. Maybe BMC engineering would be in a better position to answer that.
I had seen a patch in one of the recent versions when the DST was revised. That patch was supposed to make the AR System compliant to the latest revision. So to answer your question, my guess would be yes. It would consider that. Its probably a question for engineering considering most of us may not be at the liberty to simulate it by adjusting the server times on our dev or test boxes..

Is it an Active Link? Or a Filter/Escalation? In case of an Active Link, the $DATE$ would taken from the client. In case of server side workflow objects, Filters or Escalations, they are set from the AR System application server (not the database application server).

This may seem like a strange question but yesterday I had a case where $TIMESTAMP$ was work correctly and diary field entries were correct but the $DATE$ was on hour behind as 3/10/2012 23:00:00 PM. Strangely today, it working correctly as 3/12/2012 00:00:00 AM ARS 6.3 patch 20 SunOS 5.9 Oracle 9.2 Thanks Mark Mark Brittain Remedy Developer ITILv3 Foundation NaviSite – A Time Warner Cable Company [email protected] Office: 315-453-2912 x5335 Mobile: 315-317-2897 _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
