Defining a new CA Jobtrac conversion project

This topic describes how to define a new CA Jobtrac (Jobtrac) conversion project. You can analyze the complexity of the conversion project by viewing the assessment report.

Before you begin

Create a new project, as described in Creating a new Conversion Tool project.

To define a new Jobtrac conversion project:

1. From the CA Jobtrac - Load Data window, select one of the following:
   • Define new Jobtrac conversion data
   • Load existing Jobtrac conversion data
2. Click Next.
3. If you select Define new Jobtrac conversion data, do the following:
   1. From the CA Jobtrac - Load Data window in the JCL Parameters area, complete the JCL parameters.

      The following table describes the JCL parameters for Defining new Jobtrac conversion data and Setting additional CA Jobtrac rules.

      Parameter	Description
      JCL created file (project set up only)	(Mandatory) Defines a filename for the JCL file created on the Mainframe.
      Output data file name (project set up only)	(Mandatory) Defines a filename for the output file or use the default CTM.JBT.OUT.
      Job card (project set up only)	(Mandatory) Defines the job card that you want, for example, //COLLECTED JOB. You can also click to enter multiple job cards.
      Allocate converted JCL libraries (Mainframe Editor rules only)	Enables you to allocate new JCL libraries. If this parameter is not selected, the Conversion Tool overrides the original JCL libraries.
      JCL library Prefix (Mainframe Editor rules only)	(Mandatory) Defines a prefix value. For example, CTM.
      UNIT	Defines the volser unit.
      VOLSER	Defines the volume on which to allocate the output file.
      SMS DATA CLASS	Defines the SMS data class
      SMS STORAGE CLASS	Defines the SMS storage class
      SMS MANAGEMENT CLASS	Defines the SMS management class
      Primary Allocation (CYL):	(Mandatory) Defines a value, for example, 100.
      Secondary Allocation (CYL)	(Mandatory) Defines a value, for example, 100.
      Number of Directory Blocks (Mainframe Editor Rules only)	Defines the number of directory blocks allocated to the converted JCL library. This should must be the same as the number of directory blocks in the original Jobtrac JCL library.

   2. Click Next and complete the Parameters environment.

      The following table describes the Jobtrac Environment parameters.

      Parameters	Description
      SCL	(Mandatory) Defines the SCL library (Jobtrac job definitions). You can add a library by clicking and then clicking the blank line to enter the library name. You can also edit a library name, by clicking the library and changing the name. To delete a library, you can click the library that you want to delete and then click .
      JCL	(Mandatory) (Job Control Language) Enables you to enter the JCL library(s) for applying variable substitution. You can add a library by clicking and then click in the blank line to enter the library name. You can also edit a library name by clicking the library and change the name. To delete a library, you can click the library that you want to delete and then click .
      JMF	(JCL Management Facility) Defines global variables. The JMF enables allows variables to be added to control JCL statements and the assignment of Current Day Dynamic Variables. These Jobtrac variable definitions are stored in the JMFSYM01 member of DATELIB. Variable replace the JMF definitions in JCL. The JMF location is, for example, <DATELIB library name>(JMFSYM01).
      ADI	(Automatic Date Insertion) Defines Jobtrac variables that are stored in the PRODDATE member of DATELIB. The ADI location is, for example, <DATELIB library name>(PRODDATE)
      CCPF	(Condition Code Program Filter) Enables values to be converted to ON PGMST and DO ACTION OK.
      ADR	(Automatic Dataset Recognition) Defines the table used for creating the Control-M/EM input file.
      AMR	(Automatic Message Recognition) Defines the table used to create the Control-O input file.
      SCS	(System Command Scheduling) Enables scheduling system commands to be issued by time, processing periods (days, week days, etc) or intervals.
      RESOURCE	Defines resource conditions that must be met before the job can be submitted. The RESOURCE location is, for example, <RESOURCE library>(RESOURCE)
      EXCLPARM	Contains lists of event names or prefixes that are grouped for mutual exclusion recognition by controlling all job resource sharing or preventing concurrent runs of jobs. The EXCLPARM location is, for example, <EXCLPARM LIBRARY>(EXCLPARM).

   3. Click Next and complete the on-screen instructions to Collect Jobtrac data.
   4. Click Next.
4. From the CA Jobtrac - Load Data window in the Jobs definitions field, click to locate and select the jobs definitions file.
5. Click Import.

   The data is loaded into the Conversion Tool and in the Assessment Report window, a summary of the imported data appears. For more information, see Data evaluation.

6. Click Next.

   The Run Conversion window appears.

7. Select Run conversion or Load existing conversion results.

   For more information about running conversion, see Data conversion.

8. Click Next.

   The Conversion Settings window appears.

9. Continue converting your project to Control-M by reviewing and changing any conversion settings, as described in Conversion settings.
