Invoking Control-M/Analyzer from a Job Step or Application Program

The following parameters can be used to invoke Control‑M/Analyzer from a job step or from an application program:

• RULE
• MISSION
• GROUP
• ARG

Parameters RULE and MISSION cannot be specified together to invoke balancing operations (that is, the user must decide whether Control‑M/Analyzer must be invoked directly or indirectly). Either the mission name or rule name must be specified, but not both.

The group name is determined as follows:

1. If GROUP is specified in the invocation, that group name overrides any other group specification.
2. If GROUP is not specified in the invocation and balancing operations are invoked by a mission, the group name of the mission is used.
3. Otherwise, the group name specified in the rule definition is used as the current group.

   Note: The specified group must already be defined in the Control‑M/Analyzer repository.

Parameters can be passed to a Control‑M/Analyzer rule and accessed by the rule through system variable RARGnn, where nn is a one- or two-digit number that represents the position of the argument in the argument list. To access the value of the first argument in the list, specify RARG01 within a rule.
