If the Control‑M monitor cannot be activated or the Active Jobs file is inaccessible, use the CTMRFLW and CTMRNSC reports to determine which jobs to submit, and in what order.

Job flow report CTMRFLW provides information about jobs in the Active Jobs file sorted by SMART Tables. For each SMART Table, the jobs are presented in order of expected execution. Generate this report daily, before starting the batch production cycle. It can be used if the Active Jobs file is lost during the batch production cycle.

The night schedule report (CTMRNSC) provides a summary of all jobs that executed during a specified time range. The start-time, end-time, elapsed time, and other data are reported for each job. Sort the report by SMART Table, end-time and start-time (parameter "TABLE ENDTIME").

By combining these two reports (manually or by a user-written program), the exact status of the production environment can be established. Sorting the reports by SMART Tables, which usually represent application systems, makes it easy for production personnel to continue the work manually (by SMART Tables, using the AutoEdit Simulation facility SUBMIT option).
