Job Flow Under Control-M/Analyzer

The following is a brief description of the daily job flow using Control-M/Analyzer:

• Each day, the New Day procedure is run. The New Day procedure analyzes balancing mission definitions to decide whether missions are candidates for execution on a specific date (meaning, are scheduled to be invoked on that day). The selected balancing missions are placed in the Active Balancing file.
• Jobs are run according to the normal production schedule. When the Control-M/Analyzer Runtime environment is invoked (for example, by a job step, or a call from a user program), the Active Balancing file is scanned for a matching mission entry. For additional information see Invoking Control-M/Analyzer With Balancing Missions. Control-M/Analyzer invokes the rule that is specified by the matching entry. If the Runtime environment was invoked with a rule name instead of a mission name, the specified rule is invoked. At this point, the appropriate rule is activated, based on prerequisite conditions and time constraints.
• The calculations, functions, and data comparisons specified by the rule definition are performed on the data, using Database and other variables if indicated.
• When a balancing decision is reached, the following actions, among others, may be performed:
  • Prerequisite conditions are added and deleted, thereby triggering other events or missions in the production environment.
  • Messages are sent to specified destinations through the Shout facility.
  • Jobs are terminated based on the result of their balancing mission or rule. Execution of subsequent job steps (as in standalone mode) can be determined as well.
• Job sysouts, Rule Activity reports, and online tracking screens enable balancing results to be examined.
• The Control-M/Analyzer sysout files shown in Table 8 are created after rule termination.
