Conversion settings

In the Conversion Settings step, you enter information for the conversion project results file, and select a set of conversion rules that are applied during the conversion. The Conversion Tool provides a default set of conversion rules that you can use for standard conversion scenarios. You can modify the conversion results by changing the conversion rules to customize how your data is converted. You can create a set of rules, import a set of rules, edit an existing set of rules, or delete a set of rules.

NOTE: For Control-M OS to Application Jobs, some rules are disabled.

You can save a set of conversion rules and use them for future conversions.

Rules enable you to:

• Filter jobs to either include or exclude them from the conversion results
• Select the type of Control-M job to which you want to convert your data
• Edit Control-M field values
• Select options specific to the source scheduler from which you are converting
• Map the scheduler's parameters to the Control-M parameters
• Specify additional scheduling definitions

The following sections describe how to modify settings and rules, set general rules and fields:

• Modifying conversion settings
• Setting General rules
• Setting Control-M field values

You can also set additional rules for each project by selecting the relevant tab.

When you click Next, the conversion process starts and the conversion results are saved in the file name that you entered.

NOTE: When you are converting large data, you can cancel loading the conversion results by clicking Cancel on the progress bar, which enables you to continue with conversion without waiting Conversion Tool to finish analyzing the data.
