General Information for INTERVAL SEQUENCE

The INTERVAL SEQUENCE parameter defines an interval sequence between reruns or cyclic runs of the same job.

Once the job has run, the Control-M Monitor does not rerun or resubmit the job unless both the following conditions are satisfied:

• the defined interval of time for the next rerun has passed
• all runtime submission criteria, such as resources, conditions, and so on, are satisfied

The FROM subparameter specifies the point from which the interval is measured. The values set for this subparameter have the following effects:

• When the value of FROM is STRT, the time until the next job run is counted from the moment that the current job run begins.
• When the value of FROM is END, the time until the next job run is counted from the moment that the current job run is complete.

A Rerun command (R) can be performed only after all planned intervals have been completed.

The figure below shows an example of the INTERVAL SEQUENCE parameter.
