You can use the Control-M Agent (installed on the same machine as the Conversion Tool) to collect Cron data from available Agents and Remote Hosts.
NOTE: Relevant for Cron conversion which runs on Microsoft Windows where Control-M Agent is installed.
The Control-M Agent uses Control-M jobs and Agent utilities to collect the Cron data. The Control-M jobs execute a script file to collect data and to view a list of available hosts. The following script files are used, which are dependent on the host's platform:
To start the collection of data by Control-M/Agents, a job is submitted to the Agent’s primary Control-M Server. Once a list of available hosts is created, in the Conversion Tool, you can select from which hosts you want to collect data. A job is then submitted to each selected host to retrieve the Cron data.

To start data collection by Control-M/Agents, see Setting up the Cron conversion environment using Control-M/Agents.
