Online Definition, Tracking, and Control Facility

Users of Control-M/Analyzer communicate with the system through the Online Definition, Tracking, and Control facility, a set of integrated, interactive "fill-in-the-blank" screens that provide access to Control-M/Analyzer information. Its operation is characterized by:

• uniform ISPF-like screen handling conventions
• menu-driven functions
• dynamic PFKey assignment
• "All information on the screen" approach
• management of many screens concurrently (including TSO applications)

The Online facility provides access to the Repository and the IOA Core. It enables the user to see and update the following:

• Database Variable Definition parameters
• Rule Definition parameters
• Mission Definition parameters
• the status of active missions
• historical data about Control-M/Analyzer operations
• the status of prerequisite conditions under supervision of Control-M/Analyzer
• the IOA Log file
• calendars

The Online Definition, Tracking, and Control facility can be activated under the environments shown in Table 17, regardless of whether the Control-M/Analyzer Runtime environment is active.

Table 17 Environments for Facility Activation

TSO users can activate other online application programs (including ISPF) parallel to the Online facility under the multiplication environment created by Control-M/Analyzer.

Control-M/Analyzer provides full color support when activated from a screen with extended 7-color support.
