Extracting an executing job or process

This procedure describes how to monitor PeopleSoft jobs or processes that are running and perform post-processing activities according to the job process status upon completion.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have completed the steps, as described in Building a rule file.

To execute job or process:

1. Type the following command:

   psftcm extract <rule_file_name> <output_file_name> [-agent <agent name>]

   <output_file_name> refers to a file created by this utility, which contains a ctmcreate command for each extracted job or process. In case -agent is not specified, the ctmcreate command is executed by the default Control-M/Agent. For more information about ctmcreate commands, see ctmcreate in Control-M Utilities.

   Microsoft Windows: The output file must have a .bat extension.

2. Open the output file and verify that the results are identical to your specifications in the rule file.
3. You can edit the output file manually.
4. Run the output as a script by typing one of the following commands:
   • UNIX: sh <output file name>
   • Microsoft Windows: <output file name.bat> and click Enter.
