Converting UC4 scripts to Control-M

This procedure enables you to convert UC4 Scripts to Control-M using the UC4 Script Conversion file.

After you run the initial UC4 conversion, the Conversion Tool automatically generates the UC4_scripts_conversion_to_ctm.xls file (UC4 Script Conversion file).

In this file, you need to analyze and understand the script logic, and see how it should be converted to Control-M. For more information about the UC4 Script Conversion file, see UC4_scripts_conversion_to_ctm tab.

Before you begin
