Limitations

Condition inheritance applies to one table only. Relationships between tables are ignored.

Unusual job definition 1

This enhancement does not handle "unusual" job definitions. For example, assume that three jobs are present in a table:

Under normal conditions, jobs B and C would never run. However, if job B is deleted using the condition inheritance feature, job C will incorrectly run every Sunday.

Unusual job definition 2

If job B deletes condition 1, job C will never run. However, if job B is deleted using the condition inheritance feature, job C will incorrectly run.

Unusual job definition 3

Assume that job B deletes output condition X. If job B is deleted using the condition inheritance feature, the deletion of output condition X will be lost.

Other feature limitations

• Parentheses are rearranged

  In order to use the condition inheritance feature, Control-M formats must be converted to standard Boolean format, manipulated, and then converted back to Control-M format. In this case, the parentheses are rearranged, although the functionality remains the same. For example:

  Control-M format: A (|B |C)

  becomes

  Control-M format after manipulations: |(A B) |(A C)

• Adjust condition is ignored

  The Adjust Condition feature for a SMART Table is ignored.

• DO COND is ignored

  Output conditions that are associated with a DO COND statement are ignored.

• Manual conditions

  Manual conditions are treated the same way as regular conditions. This may lead to incorrect results.
