Validation report

Use the Validation report to validate the scheduling plan conversion results, and to see on which dates jobs are forecast to run. A screen shot of the validation report is shown below.

The Validation Report window contains the following information.

• Left pane: Contains the Smart folder or job tree. You can expand a Smart folder in the left pane to display the jobs that it contains.
• Right pane: Contains the day/month/year grid.
• Navigation bar at the top of the screen: Contains quick navigation buttons to the required date.
• Information bar at the bottom of the screen: contains a key to the colors in the day/month/year grid, and a summary of the results.

  When a Smart folder or job is scheduled to run on a specific day, the cell that represents that day is colored according to the information bar.

  • (white): no Smart folder or jobs are scheduled to run on that day
  • (single diagonal line): a job or sub folder is scheduled to run on that day
  • (multiple diagonal lines): some jobs in the table are scheduled to run on that day
  • (gray): all jobs in the folder are scheduled to run on that day

When scheduling plan data is available, for example, with Autosys, each Smart folder or job displays two scheduling plan rows, one row is the calculated Control-M plan, and the second row is the source scheduling plan.

To validate a job or table, see Validating data in the Validation Report.
