8.4.4 Using the Batch Control Utility

The Batch Control Utility typically runs as part of automated processing that a job scheduling tool such as Maestro or Unicenter AutoSys controls. The utility starts and terminates through a shell script, using values in parameters that particular configuration files contain.

The following sections describe this process, including tasks that you can perform when configuring the utility or running it manually (that is, starting, stopping, or obtaining a batch name).

• Configuring the Batch Control Utility
• Setting Up Batches
• Starting a Batch Process Manually
• Processing for Batch Start
• Ending a Batch Process
• Processing for End Batch
• Identifying a Running Batch Process
