Reformatting the Active Balancing File – Utility CTBFRM

The New Day procedure activates the CTBFRM utility to clean up and reformat the Active Balancing file. Missions and rules that have already executed and ended OK, and missions whose MAXWAIT parameter has been exceeded, are erased from the file. Unscheduled rules are automatically assigned a MAXWAIT value of 0. After these mission entries are erased, the Active Balancing file is compressed.

Note: If the CTBFRM utility abends, information is recovered automatically after startup using an automatically generated backup copy of the ABFBKP Active Balancing file. For more information, see the CTBFRM utility in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
