Automating utilities using Control-M jobs

Many of the tasks performed by utilities can also be performed in real-time using the Job Properties and Folder Properties panes in Control‑M Workload Automation. However, by including a utility command in the command line of a job processing definition, you can run the utility at a predetermined time or under a predetermined set of conditions without being present.

To automate utilities using Control-M jobs:

1. In the Job Properties pane, do the following:
   1. Specify "command" as the What field.
   2. Specify the command line format of the utility in the Command field.
   3. Set up the automation using the fields in the Scheduling and Condition tabs.
2. Check in, and order the job.

   The New Day Procedure, on a daily basis, will evaluate whether the utility should run based on the criteria you set up.
