Control-M/Analyzer Capabilities

Control-M/Analyzer is a data balancing and quality control system that is designed to do the following:   

• perform data balancing (examining, checking, verifying information integrity) for applications and other production processes
• automatically react to potential crisis situations before corrupted data is dispersed throughout the system
• reduce the cost of correcting data related problems by detecting and fixing them as soon as possible
• provide quality control during job execution, reducing the need for and delay caused by manual checking
• influence an existing job flow based on balancing results
• rollback Control-M/Analyzer Database values to an earlier generation if necessary

Control-M/Analyzer can be invoked in the following ways:

• by inserting a Control-M/Analyzer step within a job

  Several Control-M/Analyzer steps can be inserted within a job. Control-M/Analyzer steps can be inserted before and after an existing job step, enabling data validation both before and after the execution of a production step. Input data is validated before a step is executed, and output data is examined and balanced after a step is executed.

  Because Control-M/Analyzer steps can be placed inside a job, Control-M/Analyzer provides monitoring and intervention at any point in the job. Results of a Control-M/Analyzer step can influence the execution of subsequent job steps.

• directly from an application program

  Arguments can be passed from the application program to Control-M/Analyzer (for validation, balancing, or storage for future use). Control-M/Analyzer can also return values to the application program, including balancing results.
