Classification: Confidential A "basic sysplex" would need an Instance of CTL-M on each image with little or no overlap. Commands would need to be issued by the batch job to (for example) set the "CICS DOWN" flag so the batch jobs can run. What a PITA!
Agreed on Candle. SAS is also notable in the "my way or the highway" approach to installation/maintenance. Especially for the z/OS environment. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2021 12:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Control-M [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization.

IIRC Candle's Omegamon suite was the same way - our way or no way, what a pain. for me IOA and the CONTROL configuration ISPF tool was far easier that the Candle tool.
