Default Value

Defines a default value for a folder/job parameter.

Required

Indicates that the parameter is mandatory.

Values

Defines more than one value that a Control-M web user can use. Any one of these options is valid. You cannot define pattern parts if you define possible values. If you define other rules like length, or character restrictions, the possible values have to comply with these rules.

Patterns

Indicates that a parameter is composed of a pattern. You can add more than one pattern.

Business parameters

Indicates that a business parameter can be used as a pattern part of a Control-M folder/job parameter.

EXAMPLE:

Job Name: [Business Parameter][*]

Folder/job parameters

Indicates that a folder/job parameter rule can be used as a pattern part of another folder/job parameter rule.

EXAMPLE:

Job Name:[Application]

Internal rules

Indicates that an internal rule can be used as a pattern part of folder/job parameter and a business parameter.

EXAMPLE:

Job Name:[Internal Rule][1-9 characters][*]

Fixed text

Indicates that a fixed value is used in the parameter as a constant string.

Free text

Indicates that any value can be used in the parameter.

Exclude

Determines patterns/values to be excluded in the site standard rule, which prohibits users from using them in a job definition.

EXAMPLE: If you do not want a root user to be defined in the Run As parameter, you can do the following:

Folder/Job attribute: Run as

Pattern Parts: Free text

Patterns: Root

Exclude contains the same elements Values, Pattern, and Multi-pattern that are described above in the table.

Characters

Determines character restrictions, such as the minimum and maximum length of characters in a parameter, which characters are allowed, which characters are excluded, the use of uppercase and lowercase letters, and digits in a parameter.

EXAMPLE:

Job Name: [1-9 characters][#%4&]
