Create jobs and schedules in Control-M Planning
Now that you have the plug-in deployed and a connection profile for Micro Focus connectivity, you can start creating and running jobs.
Each Control-M for Micro Focus job consists of a set of attributes, in four sections. Each section can have many attributes. The following list shows some of the more commonly used attributes.
General:
The job name
The application and sub-application that the job belongs to
The JCL to submit
A link to site-provided operational documentation
Scheduling:
Months and Days this job is eligible to run
Calendars such as a business accounting periods, holidays, or other special dates that cannot be defined algorithmically
Time windows
Cyclic behavior such as running every hour
Prerequisites
Upstream dependencies (usually jobs, which must be completed successfully before this job becomes eligible to run)
Resources that might be required
User action that might be required
Actions performed by Control-M upon completion of the job:
Determining job success or failure (usually based on the job's completion codes, but you can override that setting to use output text or checks for a specific status)
Notifications, such as email, for failure or success
Publishing status for downstream dependencies
As with connection profiles, jobs can be created and deployed by using Control-M Web
The following sections examine some common workflow scenarios:
