4. A Run Control ID is an identifier that, when paired with your User ID, uniquely identifies the process you are running. The Run Control ID defines parameters that are used when a process is run. This ensures that when a process runs in the background, the system does not prompt you for additional values.

   Step 4

5. You can run this process by searching for an existing Run Control ID or you can add a new value.

    

   Creating a Run Control ID that is relevant to the process may help you remember it for future use.

   Step 5

6. With the Run Control ID field empty, you  can click the Search key to find all Run Control IDs.

    

   In this case, there is only one existing Run Control ID, so the Search process accesses it directly.

    

   Click the Search button.
