Browsing for the file that contains the job script in a remote host or host group

This procedure describes how to select the file that contains the job script in a remote host or host group. This enables your job definition to have accurate credentials to find the file name and file path for the script.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have selected an OS job. To change the number of files that appear, use the filter field, or contact your Control-M Administrator.

To browse for the file that contains the job script in a remote host or host group:

1. In an OS job, set the What field to Script.
2. Set the Run As field as a user with credentials to run the job.
3. Do one of the following:
   • To set the agent to a specific host or host group, set the Host/Host Group field.
   • To set the default agent, leave the Host/Host Group field blank.
4. Next to the File Name field, click .

   The Remote Browsing dialog box appears where the main pane contains the list of file names matching the criteria. If no Host or Host Group have been defined, the Host/Host Group field remains blank.

5. To change the agent, set the Host/Host Group field.
6. To view the file names, set the File Path field.
7. Filter the File Path, by setting the Filter field.
8. Select the file that contains the script name according to the Name field, and click Save.

   In the Properties pane of the job definition, the File Path and File Name fields are set.
