Active Jobs File

As mentioned above, each job scheduling definition contains criteria that determine whether the job must be scheduled on a given day. If based on these criteria a job must be scheduled, a copy of its job scheduling definition is placed in a file called the Active Jobs file. The mechanism by which job scheduling definitions are placed in the Active Jobs file is discussed in Job Ordering and Job Forcing.

Only jobs in the Active Jobs file are candidates for submission by the Control-M monitor.
