Control-M Conversion guides you through the steps for converting your data from your current scheduling application to Control-M. For a description of the conversion procedure steps, see Conversion procedure steps. You may need to export your data or configure your environment before converting your data to Control-M. For more information, see Conversion project configuration and Project configuration.
Control-M Conversion includes the following capabilities:
For more information about the capabilities of each scheduler, see Conversion capability. For recommended practices for TWS and AutoSys, see Recommended practices.
Control-M OS to Application Jobs: Enables a mass update at Control-M flow level, which finds jobs according to specified criteria and replaces them with user defined Control-M job or jobs. For more information, see Control-M OS to Application Jobs overview.
Control-M Self Conversion: Enables you to develop automatic conversions from any scheduler, business application, or homegrown application to Control-M data (Folders and Jobs). For more information, see Control-M Self Conversion.
Verification Tool: Compares Scheduler forecasts and execution history reports with Control-M, as described in Verification Tool.
Select a new project, existing project or a demo project to see how data is converted into Control-M, as described in Project selection.
After you have imported data, evaluate the data that has been imported into Control-M, as described in Data evaluation.
Change settings and rules to suit your requirements. You can convert scheduling definitions, calendars, and other related files, as described in Conversion settings.
After converting the data to Control-M you can analyze results, which show entities that have converted without problems and those that generate warning or error messages. With this information, you can identify necessary changes and return to the Conversion Rules phase to modify configuration elements or filters before rerunning the Evaluation phase. For more information, see Conversion results.
You can also compare the generated scheduling criteria definitions in Control-M against the current tool’s forecast report. For more information, see Data validation.
NOTE: Control-M Conversion Tool is compatible with Control-M supported versions. When opening the conversion tool, if the Conversion Tool version is lower than the latest version, a pop-up window appears with instructions how to update the Conversion tool.
