Defining a new Validation project

This procedure describes how to define a new Validation conversion project, which enables you to validate a draft file that was not created using the Conversion Tool. For example, this enables Mainframe conversions to use the Forecast Tool in Control-M.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

• Export your data to a Control-M XML file.
• Create a new project as described in Creating a new Conversion Tool project.

To define a new validation project:

1. From the Validation - Load Data window, in the Import Scheduling Data area, complete the following fields:
   • (Mandatory) Draft file: Click to locate the exported Control-M definitions file.
   • Calendar file: Click to locate the Control-M calendars file.
2. Click Import.
3. The data is loaded into the Conversion Tool.
4. Do one or more of the following:
   • Validate your data, as described in Data validation.
   • Load data into Control-M, as described in Loading to Control-M.
