FETCH Phase

Figure 378 Parameter Prompting Facility Type 2: Fetch Phase

The second option of the Parameter Prompting facility – Type 2, FETCH A PLAN, allows the user to select a plan for execution by Control-M on a specific day.

When a FETCH option is executed for a specific PLANID, or all PLANIDs with a specific suffix, a daily table is automatically created. The Daily Scheduling table, a subset of the Master Scheduling table, is placed in the Daily Scheduling Tables library. The Daily Scheduling table contains the job scheduling definition of all of the jobs in the Master Scheduling table scheduled to run on the specified date, based on each job’s scheduling criteria.

The FETCH also creates a User Prompting Plan (UPP), a subset of the Master Prompting Plan, which is placed in the Daily Prompting Plan library. The UPP contains only parameters that are required by the jobs scheduled to run on the specified date.

A Daily JCL library is also created containing JCL for today’s jobs.
