Creating a regular folder

Enables you to define containers of one or more jobs, which enables you to organize your jobs according to schedules or resources. You can define as many folders as you need, and assign each folder to a specific Control-M/Server. For more information on the types of folders, see Folder parameters.

Enables you to define containers of one or more jobs and Sub Folders, which enables you to organize your jobs according to schedules or resources. The jobs and Sub Folders in a SMART Folder (for non-z/OS jobs) can inherit definitions from parent SMART Folder.

Creating a Sub Folder
