Control-M job scheduling definition

Most Control-M/Restart functions for a job are defined using parameters in the job scheduling definition. These parameters can be defined so that Control-M/Restart processing is completely automatic, requiring no manual intervention.

However, if manual intervention is needed, for example, a manual confirmation before a restart under Control-M/Restart, these parameters can be defined accordingly.

Table 1 lists Control-M/Restart functions, and the parameters in the Control-M job scheduling definition that are used to define them.

Table 1 Control-M/Restart Functions and Control-M Job Scheduling Definitions Used to Define Them

Control-M/Restart Function	Control-M Job Scheduling Definition
Job Restart	DO IFRERUN
Archive SYSDATA (defined later in this section) that is necessary for job restart.	AUTO-ARCHIVE
Perform Prevent-NCT2 (data set cleanup) processing prior to, but as part of, the original job run.	PREVENT-NCT2
Determine if and how long a job is retained in the History Jobs file: maximum number of days to retain the job maximum number of generations of the job to retain	RETENTION – # OF DAYS TO KEEP RETENTION – # OF GENERATIONS TO KEEP

These parameters are defined using the Control-M Job Scheduling Definition screen (Screen 2). The parameters are described in detail in the job scheduling parameters chapter of the Control-M for z/OS User Guide.
