CMEM

The Control-M Event Manager (CMEM) facility enables Control-M to perform specified actions in response to external events. External events are events in the system that occur outside Control-M's direct control (for example, submission of a job not under the control of the Control-M monitor).

The CMEM facility utilizes sets of user-defined rules that specify events to monitor and actions to perform if a specified event occurs. These rules are defined online through the CMEM Rule Definition facility.

Multiple rules can be defined in a table (member) in a standard partitioned dataset (library). Related rules are usually defined in the same table. Multiple tables can be defined in a library, and multiple CMEM rule libraries can be defined.

The CMEM discussion below contains general and technical information on CMEM for all users. Where noted, not all the requirements and recommendations may be appropriate for Control-M/Assist users.

For more information, see the chapter about the Control-M Event Manager in the Control-M for z/OS User Guide.
