Keep all jobs in folder until folder is removed

Indicates that all jobs in the folder are not removed automatically from the Active Jobs database. Instead jobs wait for the folder to complete and are removed at the same time as the folder. Relevant for all jobs in the SMART folder including jobs that complete ok. Jobs are not automatically removed, but wait for the folder to complete.

NOTE:

• Even after the last job in a folder is removed, the folder may remain an extra day. This may occur when the folder is still executing, as Control-M may need to complete post processing folder activity, such as Do Shouts. The folder and all of the jobs are deleted in the next new day run.
• If SMART folder is cyclic, this parameter is automatically selected by Control-M
