Creating a control resource

This procedure describes how to create a Control Resource in the Tools domain, which prevents jobs with the same defined Control Resource from running. To prevent the Control Resource from running, it must match the defined Control Resource for the job. For more information about defining a Control Resource for a job see Control resources.

To create a control resource:

1. From the Tools domain, in the Production Control area, click Control Resources.
2. From the Control Resources ribbon, click Add Resource.
3. Do the following:
   1. In the Resource Name field, type a name for the resource.
   2. From the Type drop-down list, select one of the following:
      • Shared: Enables the resources to be shared by a number of jobs
      • Exclusive: Enables the resources to be owned exclusively by one job
   3. From the Control-M Server drop-down list, select the Control-M/Server that hosts the resource.
4. Click Save.

   The resource appears in the Control Resources list, which prevents the job that contains the Control Resource from running. You can delete the Control Resource by clicking Delete Resource in the Control Resources tab.
