Each rule in Control-M/Tape consists of a rule definition, and each rule definition consists of rule parameters. Rule parameters specify the rule’s various instructions and selection criteria.
Rule definitions can be defined by the Rule Definition facility using preformatted screens.
BMC recommends that all Control-M/Tape users read the description of the Rule Definition facility in Online Facilities before reading this section.

All rule definitions are stored in members in standard user libraries. The Control-M/Tape term for a member of this type is "table." Each table is composed of definitions for a number of different rules, all of which usually relate to the same subject. Table maintenance within the library, and management of the rules within each table is carried out using the Rule Definition facility.
The parameters that can be specified for each rule fall into four basic categories:
Table 130 Parameter Categories
Category |
Description |
---|---|
A. |
General Parameters – basic information about the rule. |
B. |
Selection Parameters – selection conditions (the ON block). |
C. |
Action Parameters – actions to be performed (the DO block). |
D. |
Scheduling Parameters – dates to activate the rule. |
Categories A, B, and C are mandatory. Category D is optional.
This chapter presents a quick summary of the parameters in each of the categories listed above.
The summary is followed by a detailed description of each rule definition parameter (in alphabetical order).
Note: Before reading about ON block or DO block parameters (categories B and C above), read ON/DO Block Structures.
