In the Site Standard tool, you can specify restrictions and rules for Control-M Folder/Job parameters. There are two types of rules that you can create:
Regular rule: Creates a rule for a specific Job attribute with format restrictions. If the user chooses to define the Job attribute, he/she has to adhere to the restrictions you set. However, the definition of the Job attribute is not enforced, a user does not have to define the Job attribute in the Workspace. For more information, see Creating Site Standard regular rules.
Must have rule: Creates a rule for a Job attribute that contains sub-parameters and sub-options, and you can create format restrictions for each/all of the sub-options. The user has to define the specific Job attribute and the options you created restrictions for. The definition is enforced in the Site Standard, and the user is not able to check-in the Workspace if the Job attribute and the relevant options are not defined.
The Folder/Job rule consists of the following parts:
Rule Prerequisites: Defines which Job type the rule applies to, and rule conditions. For more information on rule conditions, see Rule conditions.
Job Attribute: Defines which Job/Folder parameter the rule applies to. For some Job attributes, you can also add a Job attribute condition, as described in Job Attribute Condition.
Rule Format: Defines the rule values, and what is included and excluded in the rule. You can set a default value, or possible values, or allow certain characters, as described in Site Standards rules editor parameters.
The rules you define override the Control-M rules. However, you can only choose to alter the rules supported by Control-M, but not add new ones. For example, if a parameter can have from 1- 64 characters, you can choose to set the length between 1- 64, but not more than 64. This means, you can set the length to be only 50 characters, but not 65.
After the rules are defined in the Site Standard, and the Site Standard is assigned to the Folder, the rules are applied. The Control-M user modifying the Folder with that Site Standard will have to comply with the rules you defined. If they do not comply with the rules, a warning/error appears. A user is not able to check-in the Workspace unless those errors are fixed.
