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 ctmudly utility exit code is determined by the UDLY_PARTCOPY_ERR Control-M/Server system parameter.

The ctmudly utility exit code is 0—that is, the User Daily job ends with an exit code of 0, even if not all jobs are ordered.

Begin

1. Do one of the following:

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

     You can also run this utility on an Agent by navigating to where the 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 User Daily job name 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 an Agent, it must include the -DAILY_NAME keyword (as shown above). For more information, see User Daily name.
-odate	Indicates the scheduling date (ODATE The date that a job joins the Run Queue.) 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.
