Rules

Rules are used by Control‑O, Control‑M/Tape, the Control‑M Event Manager (CMEM), and Control‑M/Analyzer to respond to specified events, such as the detection of a message by Control‑O. The occurrence of the specified event triggers the rule that results in the performance of the actions specified in the rule.

Scheduled rules remain active in memory after the performance of the rule. They can be triggered each time an occurrence of the specified event is detected. There is no limit to the number of times a rule can be triggered.

Note: Control‑M/Analyzer rule definitions contain only action statements. Control‑M/Analyzer rules are either executed upon request without regard to scheduling criteria, or according to scheduling criteria specified in a Control‑M/Analyzer mission.
