Additional Information

Expression “SYS.TIME.WITHIN” is not working correctly with minutes.

When the expression is used without minutes, then it is working as expected. Customer need the minute values for automated maintenance page, which begins under the hour.

After further discussion with the internal team and testing the lab all the fields in the time is distinct and evaluated separately. When we define minutes we need to make sure the system time minutes is with-in the specified range.
 
For example, if the time is GMT 2005 May 10 10h 15m 30s, and it is the second Tuesday of the month, you can specify the following (evaluation results are shown in parentheses):
  • sys.time.within(GMT 2004, GMT 2006) (TRUE in this example.)
  • sys.time.within(GMT 2004 Jan, GMT 2006 Mar) (FALSE, May is not in the range of January to March.
Below is working and non-working expressions tested in the lab as example.
