Schedule Restore Mission to the Active Missions File

A restore mission must be placed in the Active Missions file to execute. The mechanism used to place a copy of the restore mission definitions in the Active Missions file is the New Day procedure (CTDNDAY).

The New Day procedure calls a special scheduling program that runs independently of the Control-D monitor (a started task – STC). The program can run at any time, even if the Control-D monitor is not active.

The scheduling program will scan your restore mission library and analyze which restore missions should be scheduled to the Active Missions file depending on the Basic Scheduling parameters you have defined. You can also specify special parameters in the list of missions to be scheduled that can override any specified scheduling criteria. For example, parameter FORCE will ignore Basic Scheduling parameters and always place the restore mission in the Active Missions file.
