Understanding Offset Concepts
Using a Positive Production Day Offset
Positive Production Day Offset With the Agent Running Ahead of the Master
This example shows an agent that is five hours ahead of the master. A production day offset of positive three (+3) shifts
the start of the production day (0000) three hours ahead in calendar time for both master and agent. A job defined to run
at 0500 on the production day of August 11th launches at 0000 on August 10th on the master’s production day.

Agent Running Behind the Master
Setting a positive production day offset moves the start of the production day forward. In the example below, the
difference between time zones is shown with a solid arrow and the production day offset is shown with a dotted arrow.
This example has a positive production day offset of two hours ahead with the agent running eight hours behind the
master. Thus a job defined to run at 2200 on the production day of August 10th is launched at 0600 on August 11th due
to the difference in time zones.
