Ordering and Forcing Missions

A mission can be placed in the Active Balancing file automatically, by a special procedure. For more information about this special procedure, see Chapter 4, "Preparing for Production—Technical" You can also manually put a mission in the Active Balancing file by "ordering" it.

The following exercise illustrates how to manually order the DAILY category of mission ADMIN to be placed in the Active Balancing file.

Two relevant options, ORDER and FORCE, are available on this screen. While they take similar actions, the criteria followed by these options are different. The ORDER option places the mission on the Active Balancing file according to its defined schedule. The FORCE option forces the mission to be placed on the Active Balancing file, regardless of its schedule. In this example, you will order the mission using the FORCE option.

1. Place the cursor in the OPT field to the left of the mission category named DAILY.
2. Type F and press Enter to force the ordering of this mission category.

   If a pop-up confirmation window appears, type Y to confirm the order.

   After a brief period, the Control-M/Analyzer Mission Order Messages screen is displayed with a confirmation message for the order. This message indicates that the mission has been ordered, and it is now placed in the Active Balancing file.
