Control-M Event Manager

Control-M Event Manager (CMEM) enables Control-M to perform specified actions in response to external events. External events are events that occur outside Control-M, such as a submission of a job not under the control of Control-M monitor. CMEM is an optional facility based on a monitor and a subsystem. These rules are defined in the Tools home page in the Production Control section in Control-M. For more information about CMEM, see Control-M Event Manager in Control-M for z/OS User Guide.

NOTE: CMEM is only available for z/OS.

CMEM utilizes sets of user-defined rules within a table, which enables you to do the following:

• Specify the conditions under which the rule is to be performed. For more details, see On Statements.
• Enable actions to be performed when the rule is triggered. For more information, see Do Actions.

You can define multiple rules and usually related rules are defined within the same table. A rule may contain one or more events which may be related to one or more jobs. Once you have created the table, you can then activate the Table. The Table is loaded to memory and the occurrence of the event specified in the On Statements trigger the rule. All Do Actions in the rule are then performed.

The following procedures describe how to create, copy, delete and activate a Control-M Event Manager table or rule.

• Creating a Control-M Event Manager table
• Editing a CMEM table
• Copying a table
• Deleting a table
• Activating a CMEM rule
