Enhanced Runtime Scheduling Algorithm

When jobs that are part of a Collection are scheduled, Control-M treats the Collection as one unit of work for processing runtime scheduling criteria in the following ways:

• Control-M ensures that the required number of participants, as defined for the pipe in the MVBO/Job Optimizer Pipes rule, access each pipe in the Collection. If a participant is missing, the jobs in the Collection are not submitted. This ensures that a job is not submitted when its participants are not scheduled on that day.
• Control-M analyzes all resources, such as prerequisite conditions, Quantitative resources, and time limits, required by all jobs in the Collection as a single set. All participants are submitted together when all the resources required by the set are available. This ensures the parallel submission of all pipe participants.

  To ensure that the jobs begin execution on time, it is recommended that initiators be handled as Quantitative resources. This ensures that submitted jobs do not wait for initiators and delay other jobs in the Collection.

• Control-M checks if the MVBO/Job Optimizer Pipes monitor is active before submitting the jobs in the Collection. If the MVBO/Job Optimizer Pipes monitor is not active, the jobs in the Collection are not submitted. This ensures that, when submitted, the jobs run in parallel, using pipes.
