The communication, startup, and troubleshooting utilities are used to set up communication between Control-M components, start up/shut down Control-M components and entities, and determine if communication between the components is occurring effectively. Various troubleshooting utilities are also included here.
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.
Some of the parameter names changed for Control-M version 8.0.00 and above. Terminology from previous versions is still supported.
