ProblemThis happens when a user sets a triggering rule with an exception for the standard job 1st of every month of the calendar days. However, after a while the standard job starts deviating to different days of the month.
Solution
Standard job triggering rules do not support the ability to say 'on the first day of the month' . Jobs can be triggered every 30 days or 31 days, but neither of these will stay aligned with the first day of each month
One way to fix the triggering to the first day of each month is to enter a triggering rule with 'trigger on' option selected and the first day of the month entered as the date the job is to be triggered on. A separate rule is required for each month of each year. Ex. to define the triggers for the first day of each month, 120 triggering rules would have to be entered.
Another approach requires the creation of a calculated indicator which involves defining the indicator (on any asset) with a formula of 1. It does not require any inputs. On the frequency tab set the pattern to trigger the indicator on the first day of each calendar month. This will result in the creation of a reading with a value of 1, on the first day of each month (assuming they have schedule for the calculate indicators scheduled action). On the standard job define the job to trigger based on the a reading value of 1 for the calculated indicator.
