Discovery Schedules Conditional Scripts

[ScottR]

Hi, is it possible to schedule the following times on a discovery schedule:
1. First Tuesday of the month from 20:00 - 21:00 - Test environment
2. Second Tuesday of the month from 20:00 - 21:00 - Stage / UAT environment
3. Third Tuesday of the month from 20:00 - 21:00 - Prod environment

and is the best way a script?(if so could some one help me as i am a noobie at best when scripting)

In that case, something is better than nothing! You'll probably need to write a script which calls the Discovery job and has some function like this included, as I don't recall there being a "third instance of in the month" type iteration in either FD or script criteria.

Not a scenario I've heard frequently, but I hope that helps!

Scott, 

Hilariously, I've come across this conversation while looking for a solution to my own ask (which is the same as you had a couple years back). The ideal way is to use "Conditional" on the schedule, and then run a script to check if you're in the right window according to your logic.

Like I said, it was a while ago, and I only happened across this - but wanted to share anyway, seeing as I'm here!
