The Control-M/Analyzer Runtime environment can be invoked by:
A direct call to a rule The rule is specified by either an application program, a job step, or another INCONTROL product. The specified rule name is searched in the libraries referenced by the DABRULE DD statement. No scheduling criteria are specified; the same rule is always activated. Both methods of rule activation are discussed below.
A balancing mission A search is performed for the specified balancing mission name in the Active Balancing file. After locating the appropriate mission, the rule specified by the mission is activated. When Control-M/Analyzer is invoked using this method, scheduling criteria may be specified for date-dependent balancing activities. For example, the same mission may activate different rules based on the day of the week using different categories of the mission.
