Control-M OS to Application Jobs enables a mass update at Control-M flow level, which finds jobs according to specified criteria and replaces them with user defined Control-M job or jobs. Rather than search, add, or replace each job manually in Control-M, Control-M OS to Application Jobs enables you to update automatically the whole job flow in one go.
For more information about updating the job flow using Control-M OS to Application Jobs, see Converting from OS to Application Job.
You can use this feature for a number of different applications. For example, you can replace Control-M OS Jobs that call scripts to trigger File transfer using IBM Sterling Connect:Direct API with Control-M File Transfer jobs. You can also use this feature when converting from an OS job running an Informatica job to a Control-M for Informatica job type. For an example that calls scripts to trigger a file transfer using IBM Sterling Connect:Direct API with Control-M File Transfer jobs , see Control-M OS to Application Jobs example.
After running the Conversion Tool, Control-M OS to Application Jobs updates the Control-M input data and replaces all jobs that meets the search criteria with the new Control-M data provided. The data is then loaded into Control-M and a new Workspace is created, containing the new job flow. For more information about loading data into Control-M, see Loading validated conversion results to Control-M. If you want to attach the replaced job Task Type information (command, Script, Embedded) with the new sub folder description when loading data into Control-M, select the check box, as described in Setting additional Control-M OS to Application Jobs rules.
NOTE: Control-M OS to Application Jobs copies variables from the replaced folder into the new injected folder. When one of the jobs in the injected folder uses those variables from within a Script or Embedded Script, for those variables to be available for use within the script during the execution in the Agent, a Control-M/Server option must be set. You should use the Control-M Configuration Manager to change the value of each relevant Control-M Server System Parameter VARIABLE_INC_SEC in the Scheduling and execution section from default LOCAL to the value GROUP. Using those variables in the MFT/AFT Panel fields does not require the above setting.
