init_prflag

The init_prflag utility resets the sleep times and trace levels for Control-M/Server processes, as follows:

  • Resets the sleep times for all Control-M/Server processes to their initial (installation) values, as described in init_prflag Sleep Time Considerations.

  • Resets the trace level for all Control-M/Server processes to zero.

The sleep time setting for Control-M/Server processes can affect the functionality of Control-M/Server and your data center performance. Sleep time is the length of time that a process lies dormant before it wakes up to determine if any request to perform an action was received. When you modify certain Control-M/Server process sleep time settings, it is important to consider the number of jobs that are processing, the job schedule plan, and the overall load on the host.
