And Answers For  Journaling and Restoration Capability  in CONTROL-M 



The CONTROL-M Journal file collects data about changes occurring in the
CONTROL-M Active Jobs file, the IOA Conditions file and the
CONTROL-M Resources file during the CONTROL-M working day.
The Journal file is initialized each day during New Day processing. From
that point on, for the rest of the working day, the CONTROL-M monitor
records in the Journal file all job processing activities that impact the
CONTROL-M Active Jobs file, and all prerequisite condition additions to
and deletions from the IOA Conditions file and the CONTROL-M Resources
file.

If the CONTROL-M Active Jobs file, and optionally the IOA Conditions file
and the CONTROL-M Resources file, need to be restored, for example,
following a system crash, utility CTMRSTR can be run to restore the files.
The utility uses data from the Journal file to restore the files to the status they
had at any specific time after the last run of the New Day procedure.

The CONTROL-M Journal file is initialized each day during New Day
processing. Therefore, the time at which the New Day procedure initialized
the Journal file is the earliest time to which the CONTROL-M Active Jobs
file, the CONTROL-M Resources file, or the IOA Conditions file can be
restored.

Journaling and Restoration is an optional feature that can be activated by the
INCONTROL administrator
