Loading Job definitions from file

This procedure describes how to load existing Job definitions from an XML file. The imported Job definitions appear in a Workspace. You can create the following Workspace types:

• A new Workspace, by duplicating the imported Workspace. This will create a new Workspace with suffixes added to the Folder names and conditions.
• A new Workspace, which is based on the imported Job definitions. This will add your Job definitions to a new Workspace without changes to Folder names and conditions.

To load Job definitions from file:

1. From the Home page, click Workspace, and then select Load from file.
2. Select the XML file you want to load, and click Open.

   A message appears displaying the number of Folders and Jobs that were imported successfully.

3. Click OK.

   The Job definitions are loaded into a Workspace in read-only mode.

4. Do one of the following:
   • To duplicate the Workspace, click Duplicate.

     Duplicating a Workspace creates the Workspace with revised Folder names and condition names.

   • To modify the Workspace, click Modify.

     Modifying a Workspace creates a copy of the existing Workspace. The changes you make overwrite the existing properties.

   Conflicts upon import appear in the right pane. You must resolve all conflicts to be able to continue. There are cases where conflicts cannot be resolved by you, in this case, you should contact your Control-M Administrator.

5. Fill in the required parameters. For more information, see New Workspace parameters.
6. Do one or both of the following:
   • Create new sub-Folders and Jobs, as described in Creating a Folder/SMART Folder and Creating a Folder/Job.

     NOTE: You can only create a sub-Folder in a SMART Folder.

   • Edit the existing Job/Folder definitions. For more information, see Job types.

   NOTE: You can undo changes to Jobs/Folder by clicking .

   • Add new Jobs, as described in Creating a Folder/Job.

   Follow the instructions according to what you select.
