Scheduling job to run after another finishes
Is there a way to schedule a job to start after a different one finishes? For example, I want to run an archive job on my regular mailboxes, then when that completes I want to run an archive job on the UDA folders. We're archiving a small number of users (although that number is growing).
I don't know if the "best practice" would be to schedule those for different days, or if you schedule one to run at 10:00 at night and start the next one at 11:30 assuming the first job will be done (that sounds scary) - it would be nice if there is a way to specify that when Job A completes, Job B will start, or if there was a nice document that I haven't found lining out what the best practices are related to scheduling jobs.
Thanks!

EmailXtract does not allow this functionality. There are few workarounds you can use e.g. running jobs with start and finish time defined or running multiple jobs at the same time.
You can have a look at emailxtract logs from last couple of runs and that will give you estime on how long it takes for one job to finish, then you can scedule the second job to start after some time.
Thanks,
