Setting System Clock Backwards Causes Logic in ClearSCADA to Stop Executing

Resolution
After a logic program executes, it calculates its next execution time. So if the system time is set back, the program will not execute until the next execution time is reached. This may not be for some time depending on how far the system time was changed. For this reason, it is recommended that a time synchronization service is used to change the system time in small increments. If a large change to the time is required (backwards), it is recommended that the server be restarted to reset logic execution times.
