Policy and Selection List Availability Window

[Andreas_Martin]

Hello,

I can create a policy that is connected to more then one Selection list.

I also give those selection lists different availability windows.

So my idea is to create a policy wiht 3 selection lists and and each of those lists has a different time window.

Job 1 of the policy should start and then just use selection list one because that the only list that fits the schedule of the job.

Job 2 should start then only in the availability window of list 2 and so on....

Is this possible?

Does this work?

Or did I miss something?

Every answer is apreceated!

Why would you want to do this?  Wouldn't it be easier to create 3 jobs?

If you have 3 selection lists and presumably 3 job template in your policy, you would end up generating 9 jobs (= 3 selection list x 3 templates).  There other 6 jobs will not run because of your restrictions but they would just clutter up your job monitoring screen.

I see this...

My idea was to kind of chain jobs.. is there another possibilty to do this in BE 12.5?
