I have a question about this previous mail that I sent.
Is there a risk to copy or migrate a job to a next pool that is from
the copy job's pool and not from the orginal job's pool.


My copy job select job id in database, from many pools.
It's configured with a pool named "_copy" that have a "copy" nextpool.

Most of the copy job selection directive are relative to the job
pool's next pool.
Its really limmitating because each copy job should be executed in the
same pool that the job to copy
Does that kind of configuration is tricky ?

Moreover I select the job with many quite complex requests so it's not
very easy and it took me a long time to make a good selection.
Is there a documentation about the role of the collons in the database ?
and about the database functionnment of pruning and copy features ?

A last question relative to copy jobs : I often makes catalog backup
w/ my LTO tape archive of the month. Is there a mean to read an old
catalog backup or to copy the file list of my archives in a particular
table of my catalog ?
An option like "find filename in the archive catalog could be
interesting". That could go more slowly than to find it in the classic
catalog but with that you will be able to find an old file that's
archived on a WORM tape.
