Extracting job or process definitions

The procedure describes how to extract jobs or process definitions from PeopleSoft to Control-M and enables you to build Control-M job definitions based on the original PeopleSoft definitions and from folders using these definitions.

Before you begin

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

To extract job or process definitions:

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 ctmdefine command for each extracted job or process. In case -agent is not specified, the ctmdefine command is executed by the default Control-M/Agent. For more information about ctmdefine commands, see ctmdefine 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.
