Preparing Control-M Job Schedule Information

The CTMRAFL utility provides job flow information about the jobs in the Active Jobs file. Information is sorted by group and presented in execution order by group. In most respects, the CTMRAFL and CTMRFLW utilities are very similar:

• Both CTMRAFL and CTMRFLW provide a Job Flow and a Cross Reference report.
• The two reports use very similar parameters.
• The reports have a very similar output in text format.

The differences between the CTMRAFL and CTMRFLW reports are:

• Report CTMRFLW provides information about jobs in scheduling tables, report CTMRAFL provides information about jobs in the Active Jobs file.
• Report CTMRAFL does not accept SYSIN report parameters.
• Report CTMRAFL provides the Job Flow report in text format only; therefore the graphic format parameters of report CTMRFLW do not apply to report CTMRAFL.
• In CTMRAFL, the original scheduling date (ODATE) information, from the Active Jobs file, is provided in the report output. In CTMRFLW, other scheduling information extracted from the job scheduling definitions (TYP, CALENDR, scheduling data) is provided.

When utilizing the sample JCL provided for CTMRFLW, ensure you modify the EXEC statement. For CTMRAFL, the EXEC statement must read:

//RAFL EXEC CTMRAFL

instead of:

//CTMRFLW EXEC CTMRFLW
