Setting additional CA Automic (UC4) rules

This procedure describes how to set additional CA Automic (UC4) rules.

After you have imported your data, you can modify conversion rules by setting general rules and Field Editor rules. For more information about modifying setting and rules, see Modifying conversion settings.

To set additional UC4 rules:

1. In the Additional UC4 rules tab, do the following:
   • In the General area, select or modify the options required, as described in General UC4 parameters.

     The following table describe the General parameters in the Additional UC4 rules tab.

     Parameter	Description
     First day of the week	Defines the first day of the week to your Control-M work environment.
     Default UC4 client time zone	Defines the time zone of the UC4 client server.
     Convert UC4 executable objects without secheduling	Converts object that are not in any UC4 Schedule definitions, such as Post Script. For more information about converting UC4 jobs with Post Script, see Converting UC4 scripts to Control-M.
     Convert 'Start' and 'End' tasks to Dummy jobs	Converts Start and End tasks to Control-M Dummy jobs. By default, Start and End tasks are ignored and not added to Control-M.

   • In the Job/Folder name Manipulation area, select or modify the options as required as described in Job/Folder Name Manipulation parameters.
   • In the Condition Name Convention area, select or modify the options required, as described in UC4 Condition Name Convention parameters.

     The following table describes the Condition Name Convention parameters in the Additional UC4 rules tab.

     Parameter	Description

     Prefix	Defines the prefix to separate the conditions.
     Suffix	Defines the suffix to separate the conditions.
     Format	Defines the default format used for creating job dependencies.
     Condition name format that will be created	Displays the resulting format based on the changes made to the other options in the Condition Name Convention area.

2. If you have scripts that contain UC4 Scripting language keywords or functions that need to be converted to Control-M functionality, from the UC4 Script Rules tab do the following:
   • Open the UC4_scripts_conversion_to_ctm.xls file to map each UC4 Pre/Post Script into an equivalent Control-M option. For more information about the file, see UC4 scripts conversion.
   • In the Additional Conversion Options area, select the options as required, as described in Additional Conversion Options parameters.
3. Click Next to start the conversion.

   A message appears confirming that conversion is in progress. The results appear in the Conversion Results window, as described in Conversion results.

   NOTE: The conversion rules are automatically saved after you run the conversion. The set of conversion rules appears in the Conversion rules list in the Run Conversion window. You can use these rules in future conversions.
