Types of actions that CMEM can perform

Any combination of the following actions can be performed when the specified event occurs. They are specified in DO statements in the rule:

• add or delete a prerequisite condition

  Prerequisite conditions can be added to or deleted from the IOA Conditions file. This may trigger the submission of jobs in the Active Jobs file. Specified in a DO COND statement in the rule.

• force a job or table

  A Control-M table or individual job can be forced (that is, ordered to the Active Jobs file regardless of its basic scheduling criteria). Specified in a DO FORCEJOB statement in the rule.

  Jobs can be forced for one of the following reasons:

  • to start a new process in Control-M (that is, new job submission)
  • to enable Control-M to assume full control of an externally submitted job that triggers the event; these jobs are referred to as On Spool jobs, discussed under On Spool Jobs.
• stop the job in which the event occurs

  At the end of the current job step, terminate the job in which the event occurred. Specified in a DO STOPJOB statement in the rule.

The following actions can be defined if Control-O is active:

• invoke a Control-O rule

  Control-O rules can be invoked within the current rule. Specified in a DO RULE statement in the rule.

• send a message

  Messages can be sent to specified locations through the Control-O Shout facility. Specified in a DO SHOUT statement in the rule.
