ctmudly

The ctmudly utility runs jobs whose folders are associated with a specific User Daily name.

Each job in the ordered Folders whose Scheduling criteria are satisfied is placed in the Active Jobs database.

The exit code of the ctmudly utility is determined by Control-M configuration parameter UDLY_PARTCOPY_ERR.

Running Jobs with a Specific User Daily Name Using the ctmudly Utility

This procedure describes how to run the ctmudly utility, which enables you to run jobs whose folders are associated with a specific User Daily name.

Begin

  1. Do one of the following:

    • UNIX: Log in to a Control-M/Server account

    • Windows: Open a command prompt window where Control-M/Server is installed.

      You can also run this utility in Control-M Agent by navigating to where Control-M/Agent is installed.

  2. Type the following command:

    ctmudly -DAILY_NAME <User_Daily>

    [-odate {ODAT|<yyyymmdd>}]

    [-odate_option {value_date|run_date}]

  3. Check for messages issued when a job is not run.

For more information about these messages, see ctmudly Messages.

ctmudly Parameters

The following table lists the ctmudly utility parameters:

Parameter

Description

<user Daily>

Defines the name of a user daily job that is associated with one or more folders. This parameter is case-sensitive.

  • The specified name must be no longer than 10 characters. If a longer name is specified, it will be truncated to 10 characters.

  • If the ctmudly utility command is issued from a Control‑M/Agent, it must include the -DAILY_NAME keyword (as shown above).

    For more information, see User Daily name.

-odate

Indicates the scheduling date (odate) to be associated with jobs that are run by this order method job.

Valid values:

  • ODAT: The current working date of the computer on which Control‑M/Server is running.

  • yyyymmdd: A specific working day in yyyymmdd format.

    The interpretation of this parameter value is dependent on the value specified for the -odate_option parameter (described below).

    Default: ODAT

-odate_option

Indicates how the specified -odate value should be used.

Valid values:

  • value_date: The specified odate should be used as the odate value for the job. However, the jobs ordered by the user daily name job should be run during the current working day.

    If time zones specified in specific job processing definitions in the folders, then the jobs are run according to those time zones.

  • run_date: The jobs ordered by the User daily name job should be run only when the specified odate begins.

    Default: value_date

    • If the specified odate is the current working day, then this will work in the same way as value_date (described above).

    • If the specified odate has not begun (for example, due to time zone specifications), then the job will wait in the Active Jobs database (with WAIT_ODAT status) until the start of the specified working day.
