Control-M/Analyzer New Day Procedure

The Control‑M/Analyzer New Day procedure (CTBNDAY) performs certain automatic functions that start a new day under Control‑M/Analyzer. It performs daily cleanup operations on the Control‑M/Analyzer Active Balancing file and, optionally, other files. It also orders (activates) Control‑M/Analyzer missions.

Note: The name "CTBNDAY" is defined during the installation process and may be different at your site

The New Day procedure can be activated automatically by a scheduler (for example, Control‑M) at a predefined time each day. It can also be activated manually by submitting a job or starting a started task (STC).

The supplied New Day procedure activates program CTMILY. Program CTMILY reads the sequential dataset (or member) referenced by DD statement DAPROG. This dataset contains a list of programs to be activated.

The following table details the normal sequence of programs and utilities activated by the New Day procedure:
