Purpose

The New Day Procedure is the primary mechanism used to order, or activate, new missions for Control-M/Analyzer. It is also used to perform daily cleanup of the Control-M/Analyzer Jobs Activity and Reports files, to condense the Active Balancing file, and to backup or unload files.

For further information on the New Day procedure, see the Control-M/Analyzer chapter in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide, and the Control-M/Analyzer chapter in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

In conjunction with your first balancing application going into production, the New Day Procedure is implemented. This is usually done by the systems administrator responsible for Control-M/Analyzer implementation. If the first balancing application does not use missions, a New Day Procedure would still be implemented to perform daily cleanup, as noted above.
