Hi Aditya,
In you job chain you have preconditions, here you can fill in a time window. You can Say:
When time window <x> is <open|closed> in time zone <y>.
Lets take an example:
Job chain A
Step 1
Job 1 -> Mondays only -> precondition: When time window "System_Week_Monday" is "open" in time zone "Europe/Paris"
Job 2-> Tuesdays only ->precondition: When time window "System_Week_Tuesday" is "open" in time zone "Europe/Paris"
Job 3-> Monday-Friday ->precondition: When time window "System_Week_WorkDays" is open in time zone "Euorpe/Paris"
Step 2 ->Mondays only -> precondition: When time window "System_Week_Monday" is "open" in time zone "Europe/Paris"
Job 1 -> Mondays only
Job 2 -> Mondays only
Here you see how you can achieve what you want with built-in time windows ... now, imagine, you can pretty simply create your own that are open on Monday Wednesday and Friday except good Friday ... etc
Note: that preconditions can be attached to jobs or steps ... on a step, they affect all jobs in the step; Step 2 illustrates this.
Note2: System_Week_WorkDays does not take holidays in account - it is Monday to Friday.
Silly me, I only showed "open" time windows, you can also say any day except Mondays (Tuesday to Sunday) by selecting "When time window System_Week_Monday is closed" for Step 1 Job 1, for example.
Regards,
