To improve scheduling service quality and system stability, DataWorks plans to adjust the instance generation time of its scheduling system for next-day cycle instances in batches during the following windows, all in Beijing Time: 17:00–22:00 on June 15, June 17, June 23, and June 25, 2026. After the adjustment is completed, the daily instance generation start time of the scheduling system will be moved forward from 23:30 to 22:00 in the current scheduling time zone. No user action is required under normal circumstances. If your business processes depend on instance generation time—for example, submitting tasks after 22:00 and expecting instances to be generated on the next day, or checking via API whether next-day instances are ready—please make the necessary adjustments in advance. If you have any questions, please contact DataWorks Technical Support.

Impact Description: With the scheduling instance generation time moved earlier, tasks submitted after 22:00 will have their next-day instances postponed until the following day. For example, if a user submits a recurring task at 23:00 on July 10, before the adjustment, the system will generate the instance scheduled to run on July 11 at 23:30 on the evening of July 10. After the adjustment, instance generation starts at 22:00 on the evening of July 10, so the task submitted at 23:00 will not be included in that cycle. The instance for the task will instead be generated at 22:00 on the evening of July 11, to run on July 12. In other words, the task submitted at 23:00 on July 10 will not generate an instance or run on July 11, and will only generate an instance and run on July 12.
