Order will order a job if it's submission criteria have been satisfied (i.e. the scheduling calendar is matched). Force will put the job into the AJF regardless of the calendar being matched or not. An example would be a job that runs on Fridays only - if you want to test this on a Tuesday then you'd have to force it.[/b]

ordering a job will execute jobs according to scheduling criteria .

Forcing a job will execute regardless of this scheduling a criteria.

e.g if you have a job the runs tues and sundays and you order it on monday it won't appear in AJF for monday. but if you force the job on monday it'll run instantly.

Anyone care to clarify....

Clarification on the reply from punchy:

Order and Force don't have anything to do with job execution. They are methods to get jobs into Control-M EM that are not curently there. markf explained the difference between Order and Force about the same as I would have described it.

Job execution is controlled by other factors such as in conditions, execute time, resource availability, etc.
