Automated Processing Definitions

Automated processing definitions enable the user to define the tasks to perform and when to perform them. Automated processing definitions contain statements that describe actions to be performed and criteria that define when, and under what conditions, the actions are performed. Each INCONTROL product contains a definition facility by which automated processing is defined.

Automated processing definitions are referred to as jobs, rules, or missions – depending on the INCONTROL product and type of definition.

Online methods for creating automated processing definitions are described in the online facilities chapter of the user guide for each INCONTROL product.

Job and rule and mission definitions are stored in tables, called members, in partitioned datasets. Definitions are activated by scheduling or ordering them to an active environment, which can be a file or memory, depending on the product. Only then can the product process these definitions.

The different types of automated processing definitions are described in the following sections.
