Setting Control-M field values

This procedure describes how to set Control-M fields by using the Field Editor. You can specify how the source scheduler job definition parameters correspond to the Control-M job definition fields.

For more information about modifying and setting rules, see Modifying conversion settings.

To set Control-M field values:

1. From the Fields Editor tab, in the Control-M Field Editor area, do the following:
   1. In the Select field to edit field, from the drop-down list, select a field to change.
   2. In the Control-M field, enter a value or click > and select one of the field options.

      NOTE: You can also add a time stamp and/or counter to the value using >. You can use the counter to ensure that you generate unique names.

      To reset the value to the original value, click Reset.

   3. In the Default value field, type a new default value.

      NOTE: The default value is used if no other value is specified.

   4. To replace substrings, do the following actions:
      1. Click to open a new row, double click the From column and type the string that you want to replace.
      2. Double click the To column and type the new string.

   EXAMPLE: To replace logfile with log, type logfile in the From column and log in the To column.

   NOTE: You can also use wildcard characters * and ? to change the string. To delete a substring replacement, select the substring and click .

2. In the Conversion Messages area, select any of the following options:
   • Append message IDs to description: Includes a message's ID in a field's description.
   • Append message text to description: Includes a message's text in a field's description.
3. To continue setting rules select one or more of the following:
   • Select the General tab. For more information, see Setting General rules.
   • Select the Additional rules tab according to your scheduling environment. For more information, see Modifying conversion settings

   NOTE: To set the user whose credentials are used for Control-M job functions to be the same as that of the source scheduler, and followed by the "_CONVERTED" suffix, set the Control-M field value to {Run as}_CONVERTED. The default value is only used if the resolved value is zero.

4. To save this set of conversion rules and to convert to Control-M, click Next.

   A message appears confirming that conversion is in progress.

   The set of conversion rules appears in the Conversion rules list. You can use these rules in future conversions. For more information, see Conversion results.
