CA Workload Automation DE data extraction

The Conversion Tool converts CA Workload Automation DE (dSeries) XML files to Control-M data.

Before using the Conversion Tool, you need to extract dSeries' data into XML data. In dSeries, you extract data by using the imexutil utility, which enables you to export artifact definitions (such as applications, events, calendars, and variable contexts) through the following modes:

• Batch mode: Enables you to issue commands to import or export multiple artifacts at one time. You can specify multiple artifacts at the command, or you can specify the name of a file that contains the multiple command. To export data using the imexutil utlity using the batch mode, see Extracting CA Workload Automation DE data in batch mode.
• Interactive Mode: Enables you to issue import and export commands at the command prompt and view the server response for each command you issue. For more information, see CA Workload Automation DE documentation.

NOTE: You must export Events and Applications definitions to run the conversion. All artifact definitions are stored as XML files. The imexutil utility must be run where the server is installed.

For imexutil utility examples, see CA Workload Automation DE data extraction examples.
