- At a set time each day (defined during installation as the start of day at the site), CONTROL-M performs New Day processing, during which:
- CONTROL-M performs a number of maintenance and cleanup functions that the operator would otherwise have to perform manually.
- Job scheduling definitions are selected from the scheduling tables (based on their basic scheduling criteria) and are placed in the Active Jobs file. These jobs can then be submitted and tracked by the CONTROL-M monitor.
- During New Day processing, jobs that have ended OK or whose retention period has expired according to job scheduling definition parameters are deleted from the Active Jobs file.
- In simple terms "this loads all of the jobs that Control-M knows should run that day. Control-M does not necessarily know all of the jobs to run. it only knows the ones scheduled to run that day. In process of cleanup Control-M will clear all the jobs (ended OK, Deleted Jobs, Maxwait expired jobs, Eligible Failed jobs) except the jobs which are in Hold and Jobs which are having MAXWAIT".
- Note: The jobs which were ended OK will be retained for one day.
