Control-M/Analyzer Runtime Environment

The Runtime environment in Figure 3, in How Control-M/Analyzer Works, is the mechanism that performs balancing procedures according to your specifications and standards. These standards are contained in rules and missions.

Table 6 Runtime environment rules and missions

Item

Description

Rules

Specify all balancing instructions and criteria. Rules inform Control-M/Analyzer exactly how to balance the information.

Missions

Specify scheduling criteria that permit different balancing activities based on time/event dependencies.

The data source is examined and processed by the rule. During rule processing, calculations are performed to determine if the data source is balanced. Information can be stored in variables for future use, facilitating "run-to-run" and "cross-application" comparisons and checking.

The Runtime environment can be monitored and controlled by the Online Definition, Tracking, and Control facility as shown in Figure 3. This Online facility enables you to view and control Control-M/Analyzer Definition libraries, and various files stored in the Control-M/Analyzer Repository, as shown in Figure .3

The tracking screens provided by the Online facility include:
