CA Automic (UC4) data extraction

The Conversion Tool converts CA Automic (UC4) XML files into Control-M data.

Before using the Conversion Tool, you need to extract UC4 data per object type (such as Jobs, Agents, Group, etc) into separate XML files. For example, you need to extract a UC4 job object type into a Job XML file, a UC4 Agent object type to an Agent XML file, etc.

Ensure that you include jobs in your list of objects, as jobs are a mandatory object. Include as many objects as possible, as it improves your conversion results.

You can extract UC4 data to XML by the following methods:

• UC4 Explorer: Enables you to can extract UC4 data to XML through the Export function in UC4 Explorer, as described in see Extracting UC4 data to XML using the UC4 Explorer.

  Use the Search tool to select types of objects to export to XML. One or more objects can be chosen at one time to export, but only if they are in the same folder.

• Export script: Enables you to use an export script to export files automatically, as described in Extracting UC4 data to XML using an export script.

  If you have converted all objects into one XML file, you need to separate them into different XML files, otherwise, the Conversion Tool converts the entire XML according to the first object type it encounters, but ignores or mishandles objects of other types included in the XML. To avoid this, run the SplitToSpecificObjectFiles.pl script, which is in the following directory:

  <Conversion home>\scripts\uc4

  You can also filter the script so that you can export one object at a time. For example, you can define the script to export only Calendar objects. For an example about using the script and filter, see UC4 data extraction using export script example.
