ctmsweep

The ctmsweep utility deletes job definitions from the Control-M/Server database that have become obsolete due to the Start date (Active From Date) and End date (Active To Date) parameters in the job definitions. To run the ctmsweep utility, see Running the ctmsweep utility.

In a typical production situation, you can use ctmsweep as follows:

• Run the ctmsweep utility with the –Test parameter to generate the sweep_obsolete.txt file, which lists obsolete jobs and folders in a report.
• Check the sweep_obsolete.txt file and decide if you want to delete the jobs and folders that are displayed in the report.
• Activate the ctmsweep utility without the –Test parameter to delete the obsolete jobs and folders from the Control-M/Server database.

If the utility failed or partially succeeded, check the U_CTMSWEEP.<PID>.log file for the reason for the failure. Perform the necessary corrections. Activate the ctmsweep utility again to delete the obsolete folders and jobs that were not deleted successfully in the previous run.

NOTE: Avoid updating job or folder definitions when the ctmsweep utility is running.

The ctmsweep utility can be invoked using the -input_file parameter:

ctmsweep -input_file <fullPathFileName>

The referenced file contains all the required parameters. Most of the parameters are described in Control-M Parameters and ctmsweep parameters.
