5.3 Submitting services for recurring execution
Specify the date and time at which you want the service to start, and how frequently you want the service to recur.

Additional tasks are generated and processed as the recurring schedule dictates.
You can use JP1/AO in a time zone in which daylight saving time is in effect.
