Once you have defined your production workflows, they are eligible to be scheduled and run under the Control-M/Server to which they have been defined. Each day Control-M automatically performs Job scheduling for Jobs whose scheduling criteria is met. This is the most efficient way to schedule Jobs.
Scheduled Jobs remain under the specified Control-M/Server and are not submitted for execution until their submission criteria is met.
At the same time each day (known as New Day time), each Control-M/Server runs a procedure known as the New Day procedure. This procedure performs a number of tasks, including scheduling the day’s Jobs.
The New Day Time is important for Job scheduling, as it affects the times the Jobs run. The New Day procedure can schedule all the current day’s Jobs. On a regular clock, one day ends and a new day begins at midnight. However, you can set the New Day time according to your site’s actual business processing working day. For example, if New Day time is 6:00 a.m., then from 6:00 a.m. on August 4th, until 6:00 a.m. on August 5th, the working day is August 4th.
The date that a Job is scheduled in Control-M is called the Original Scheduling date abbreviated Odate. Odates conform to the working days, not midnight to midnight calendar days.
The Scheduling tab provides you with many scheduling options depending on your scheduling needs. You can use any number of approaches and parameters to define the Jobs schedule, as described in:
