Basic Scheduling parameters specify on what dates the mission is a candidate for activation.
The New Day procedure determines if the balancing mission is a candidate for execution on a specific date. If a balancing mission is a candidate for execution on a specific date, the balancing mission is placed in the Active Balancing file.
Each balancing mission in the Active Balancing file has an original scheduling date associated with it. This is the date on that data should be balanced according to the Basic Scheduling parameters. This date is not necessarily the same as the current calendar date or the current installation working date.
Note: Basic Scheduling parameters may be ignored by the Control-M/Analyzer New Day procedure, depending on the mode of operation.
