Input from Different Products

If several console automation products are in use at your site, you can convert the members containing automation definitions for multiple products at the same time, or for one product at a time.

• If each product was used to implement automation of a different aspect of your environment, it is recommended that you convert the rules for each product separately.
• If a certain type of automation has been implemented using more than one product at your site, it is recommended that you process all relevant libraries at the same time. This method can result in a more compact and more easily managed set of output rules.

The RPTRULES and RPTSRC reports generated by utility CTOFANCI can be sorted so that output rules are grouped by function (for example, all rules triggered by a specific message). This facilitates combination of automation rules from different products into Control-O rules that perform all the required functions.
