Dear All,

i have problem regarding Transaction Groups.

i want to start recording from 1:00AM and stop record at 00:00PM on the same date every 1 Hour.

my problem now is transaction groups is start recording from 00:33AM and stop at 23:33PM…

so my transaction record 1 hour earlier which makes system record previous data. And also how to make sure the transaction groups start record exactly at minutes 00, like 01:00 not 01:33

please help

Thanks  
Ilham

How do you have the execution set up?

I would set up an run-always expression item to use as a trigger (I call mine, oddly enough, Trigger).  
`dateExtract(now(), 'minute') = 59`

Set execution to 1 second timer, and execute group on a trigger. Execute once while trigger is active, Trigger condition !=0
