Convert DS jobs

Enables you to perform a conversion of the Distributed Systems (DS) job definition by selecting the Convert DS jobs checkbox.

In the Date format field, you can select how to view the date through either ddmm or mmdd (default).

Convert DS jobs check box to perform a conversion of the DS jobs.

Conditions

JOBA_JOBB: Enables you to define how two jobs are connected by creating unique condition in the format: JOBA_JOBB.

Select the Cleanup conditions check box to delete the condition after the next job has finished running.

JOBA_OK: Enables you to set a successful dependence condition between many jobs according its end status.

For more details see Job Dependencies in Using Control-M.

Start Day of the Week

Enables you to select the start day of the week for scheduling.

The value is used for Date Scheduling parameters Ln, -Ln, Dn, -Dn, DnPi, -DnPi, LnPi, -LnPi, DnWm.

NOTE: BMC Software recommends that you do not change this parameter once Control-M has been in operation in a production environment, as it may affect scheduling.

New Day time

Enables you to type the value in the New Day time value specified in CTMPARM field.

NOTE: When a positive number is specified as a New day time value, the conversion avoids scheduling date discrepancies for jobs that are scheduled by Jobtrac between Midnight and the specified Newday time by moving them one day earlier. When a negative number is specified, jobs that are scheduled by Jobtrac between the specified New day and Midnight are scheduled one day later

Customize Control-M jobname

Use Alternative JCL member name as JOBNAME: Enables you to use the Alternate JCL member name (if it exists) as the jobname, instead of the event name for the converted jobs and their connecting conditions.

SCL libraries processing

Process each SCL library independently: Enables you to process each SCL library separately.

By default, the Conversion Tool loads and processes all of the libraries as a single repository.

By selecting the checkbox you can process each SCL library separately, which is useful where SCL libraries are large, and it is not possible to convert all libraries together. If there are cross SCL dependencies they are not resolved as part of the conversion. A manual adjustment has to be made.
