A workspace is your working area, where you create job definitions, define job relationships and dependencies, schedule jobs, and push the job definitions to the Active environment.
The following procedures describe the life cycle of a workspace:
Checking out a Workspace: Creates a working copy of the workspace, while you edit the loaded jobs and folders in a workspace.
Saving a Workspace: Saves the workspace to the Job Definition database as a workspace. You can continue defining jobs and repeatedly save the workspace.
Checking in a Workspace: Checks in new and edited jobs and folders in the workspace to the Job Definition database. During check-in, there might be a conflict (or mismatch) between the checked out data and the data in the Job Definition database, or a synchronization conflict between the definitions in the Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server databases. You can resolve the conflict of Control-M clients with Control-M/EM database during Check-in. Other synchronization errors are resolved by using the Folder tool, as described in Folder management. After the workspace is checked in, the folders that were created and updated from the workspace, are synchronized with the Job Definition database.
