Step 3 – Test and implement the rules

All SolveWare rules should be fully tested before they are implemented and put into production. The three Control-M/Analyzer rule implementation modes enable you to verify automated quality control procedures before using them.

• Define mode

  Control-M/Analyzer ignores the rule during processing. No actions are performed and the rule terminates with a rule status of OK.

• Simulate mode

  The rule is processed and resulting output (for example, detailed reports describing problems) are produced. However, no actions are taken and the Control-M/Analyzer Database is not modified. This mode enables you to test rules without impacting the production environment.

• Active mode

  This is the production mode for Control-M/Analyzer rules. Data is evaluated and all actions defined by the user are performed.
