CMEM Rule Definition Facility

The Control-M Event Manager (CMEM) Rule Definition facility enables you to create, view, or modify CMEM rules for the handling of events in your environment. A CMEM rule consists of parameters that correspond to the decisions and actions to be taken when handling the occurrence of specified external events.

A CMEM rule for a specific situation needs to be defined only once. Once defined, the rule is saved and used as necessary for managing events. CMEM rules may be modified or deleted as required.

CMEM rules are stored in members called rule tables. In many environments, several rules can work together as a group to handle a specific situation. In these cases, it is common to define all such related rules in a single rule table.

Any number of rule tables may be defined, and each rule table may contain any number of CMEM rules.

CMEM rule tables (members) are stored in rule libraries (partitioned data sets). You may define any number of rule libraries.

The number of rule tables in a library, the number of rules in a rule table, and the size of each rule definition, are all calculated dynamically and are not dependent on parameter specifications.

Note: The CMEM Rule Definition facility does not support members that have been compressed using the ISPF PACK option.
