CtmFolder Class

The following table describes the CtmFolder API class that defines and retrieves Control-M Folder attributes for folders that you create through Control-M Self-Conversion.

Method

Description

getFolderInputXmlData():CtmXmlElement Class

Returns CtmXmlElement Class, which contains the XML element that was used during creation of the folder. To create a Control-M folder from XML elements, the Control-M Self-Conversion engine builds a map between the folder instance and the specific XML element in the input data. Folder XML elements usually contain additional folder data within XML element attributes or XML sub-elements (such as Folder Name). The folder XML element can be used as input data for other rules (such as Create Folder Name). For an example, see Creating a Folder.

getJobs(): List<CtmJob Class>

Returns all folder's jobs children. If no jobs exist an empty list is returned.

getSubFolders(): List<CtmFolder Class>

Returns all folder's sub folders children. If no sub folders exist an empty list is returned.

getAllSubEntities(): List<CtmBaseEntity>

Returns all folder's jobs and sub folders children. If no jobs or sub folders exist an empty list is returned.

CtmBaseEntity exposes jobs and folders common APIs.
