During this phase, we have detailed which utilities we need to set up to maintain the Control-D User Report files, and have given recommendations on how to set up backup and restore missions. We recommend that you run the utilities on a daily basis using Control-M or another automated scheduling package, if possible. Listed below is the recommended flow of housekeeping tasks.
After the nightly report decollating missions have completed, do the following:

3. Run CTDCA2P |
To copy any new user entries to the Permanent User Report List file. |

To move the entries that have passed their Active User Report List file deadlines to the History User Report List file, and delete the associated CDAM files from DASD. |
5. Run CTDCLHST |
To delete entries that have passed their Archive duration from the History User Report List file and to release their associated tapes back into the system. |
6. Run CTDCP2A |
To copy "dummy" entries to the Active Report List file, if you are allowing users to temporarily change the attributes of reports of the coming night. This utility is optional, depending on how you set up your report decollating mission SEARCH parameter. |

On a regular basis so that the reports assigned to the UNIDENT user will be checked to determine how and why reports have not been assigned. |
Note: You should now set up the required utilities to run on a daily basis.
