Modifying the Control-M Sleeping Interval

Periodically, at a predefined interval, Control‑M "wakes up" and checks what it has to do. This interval is set using a Control‑M installation parameter and can be changed by the INCONTROL administrator. In addition, the sleep interval can be altered by the F CONTROLM,INTERVAL=ss[.th]operator command.

In this command

The interval should be modified by automatic commands invoked by the Control‑M monitor itself according to set conditions and time ranges, and not manually by the operator.

At most sites, the interval should be longer during the day (when fewer batch production jobs are executing) and shorter during the night. The minimum sleep interval is 0.1 seconds.

When the modification is received by Control‑M, the following message is displayed on the operator console from which the modify command was issued:

CTM123I Control‑M INTERVAL IS SET TO ss.th SECONDS
