Monitoring rule file

The monitoring rule file is used as an input file for the Control-M for Oracle E-Business Suite Monitoring command. The rule file contains the following information:

• The type of Oracle E-Business Suite requests or request sets to monitor (CONDITIONS section).
• How to create an equivalent mirror-image Control-M job, if matching Oracle E-Business Suite requests or request sets are found (CTMCREATE section).

The ctmextract command utility searches for any Oracle E-Business Suite request or request set that matches the search criteria defined in the Monitoring rule file CONDITION section. For each match, it creates an equivalent mirror-image Control-M job according to the information available in the CTMCREATE section. For more information, see Monitoring requests and request sets running in Oracle E-Business Suite.

The monitoring rule file is built from two main sections:

• Conditions section - built from one or more [CONDITION<n>] segments. In each [CONDITION<n>] segment, you can define search criteria for the Oracle E-Business Suite concurrent request or request set that you want to monitor. For more information, see Conditions Section creation.
• CTMCREATE section - contain information on how to create mirror-image CONTROL-M job/s. The information inside the CTMCREATE section is built from couples of parameters and values separated by a blank. For more information on the CTMCREATE sections parameters, see ctmcreate/ctmdefine mandatory parameters.

  NOTE: In the CTMCREATE section, you can define any parameter accepted by the Control-M ctmcreate utility. For more information about ctmcreate parameters, see Control-M Utilities.

  NOTE: To create a Control-M mirror-image job with values retrieved from the equivalent monitored Oracle E-Business Suite job, set the values in the CTMCREATE section to the required CONDITION search criteria using the following format:

  $<variable name>$
