Creating, managing, and applying rules

Rules are created and edited using the Rule Definition Facility (JR screen), as described in Defining rules online and Rule Definition Facility. The JR screen is accessed through the IOA online interface as described in Control-M JCL Verify Rule Definition Facility (JR screen).

After creating a table of rules, the user must add the table name to the appropriate rule list member in order for it to be loaded afterwards for processing JCL statements.

Each type of rule has a different rule list member in the OLPREFJ.PARM library. For the site standards rules, the rule list is the CTJRULE member; for the Reformat rules, the rule list is the CTJRREF member; and for the Enforcement rules, the rule list is the CTJRENF member.

Once the user has added the table name to a rule list member, the table rule will be loaded, either when the monitor is restarted or by the operator command of /F CTJMON,REF,SCOPE=RULES .
