ctmsuspend

The ctmsuspend utility suspends all automatic job processing that cause the jobs to be submitted, executed and post processed. In suspend mode the communication to Control-M/Server is not impacted and the user has full ability to manage the jobs through Control-M/EM, Automation API, or any other utility. The suspend mode is design to facilitate the rare occurrences when users need to perform mass uploads and downloads, manage a long maintenance window when Control-M is down, and in emergencies to troubleshoot situations. During suspension mode, Control-M deactivates its job processing functions by suspending Control-M/Server processes.

New Day automatically runs when Control-M ODATE is different from what is specified in the Control-M System Parameters (ctmsys). New Day runs in suspended mode and does not allows users to perform Control-M/EM actions until New Day completes. The New Day procedure must not be interrupted and must be allowed to complete.
