I read a previous posting regarding Control-M (CM) but that didn't address my problem. CM is a scheduling tool. I am having it call a fex called rc_exec that has the DSTRUN logic including schedule ID, job description, and owner. The RC schedule executes via DSTRUN correctly. We have dependencies in CM that execute schedule 1 before schedule 2 and so on. We don't want schedule 2 to execute until schedule 1 has completed in RC. That's the problem. When rc_exec submits the RC schedule it immediately sends a return code = 0 if it submitted OK. CM does not know when RC has actually finished running the job. We considered a post-process to create a trigger file but we have over 300 schedules and this does not seem a very elegant solution. Does anyone have experience either with CM or another scheduling tool executing schedules in RC and knowing when the RC schedule has completed?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

That was the only way we could figure out to do it ...We had a basic Fex that created the trigger word...that Control-M was looking for...and put it as an -INCLUDE in each procedure. If someone else knows a way...I'd be interested.

I did a presentation at Summit of how we have integrated ReportCaster and Control-M. Let me know if you're interested to have more information about it.

We do have a Control-M as our scheduling tool and I am in the process of analyzing the Reportcaster with Control-M and didn't succeed on it. If you share your presentation and the way to achieve this, would be great.
Thanks

Send me your email address and I'll send the different programs/scripts. We are on UNIX. It looks like you're on Windows so you'll need to devise a similar method to what we came up with.
