Two methods exist for defining Control-M/Analyzer balancing rules:
Balancing criteria are specified as parameters in the fill-in-the-blanks Rule Definition screen of the Online facility. This method of communicating with Control-M/Analyzer makes rule definition quick and easy, especially for novice users. Refer to Appendix A and the parameter descriptions in this chapter for additional information.
Rules can be created and modified directly using a standard editor (for example, ISPF/EDIT). Commands are typed into a member in a format consistent with the Control-M/Analyzer Rule Definition language and syntax. See "Language Syntax" and "Command Reference" in this chapter for additional information.
Rule Definitions are stored as members in standard user libraries. Rule Definitions are stored in the same format regardless of definition method. Therefore, rules defined using the Online facility may be modified using a standard editor. Rules defined using a standard editor may be modified using the Online facility.
The following pages present an overview of the process for creating Rule Definitions using a standard editor. The Control-M/Analyzer Rule Definition language and syntax are described. Examples of Rule Definitions (as viewed in an editor) are provided.
Control-M/Analyzer Rule Definition language commands correspond directly to Online Rule Definition parameters. A quick reference of language commands is provided in this chapter. For more detailed information relating to a language command, refer to its corresponding parameter in this chapter.
