CalendarsDuplicatesRemoval utility

You may have a substantial number of Control-M Rule Based Calendars (RBCs) with identical data after converting your data to Control-M. The CalendarsDuplicatesRemoval utility removes all identical RBCs and updates Control-M data, which references these remaining RBCs.

After converting your data to Control-M, the Conversion Tool generates the following files:

• Data XML
• Calendar XML

The files are located in <conversion home>\workarea\datasources\<name of conversion project>\CONVERSIONS\<name of conversion project>. You can also access these files directly from the Load to Control-M window by clicking Open Conversion result.

Alternatively, if you have imported your data into Control-M, you can use the exportdeffolder and exportdefcal utilities to export the Data and Calendar XML. For more information, see Control-M Utilities Guide.

The CalendarsDuplicatesRemoval utility reviews these files and generates the following files:

• updateCalendars.xml: Contains the remaining unique RBCs.
• updateCtmData.xml: Contains the updated Control-M data with new references to the remaining RBCs.
• calDuplicatesRemovalReport.xlsx: Contains a list of the names of the remaining RBCs and the names of the RBCs that have been removed.

You can then import the updateCalendars.xml and updateCtmData.xml files into Control-M.
