• [Job/Folder Name]-TO-[TargetJob:Job/Folder Name]

Condition Inheritance

Automatically inherit Deleted Job's conditions: Enables you to automatically inherit a deleted job's conditions. By selecting the check box, a connection continues between a deleted job’s predecessor and successor jobs. It removes the dependency between the deleted job and its successor (by removing the Out condition of the deleted job and the In condition of the successor job that created the dependency).

This option only works if you delete one job at a time and in a checked out workspace. If you delete multiple jobs in a single delete action, the connection is lost regardless of the setting.

The file contains the conversion messages and details of jobs that were converted to Control-M. The ConversionMessagesMapping.csv file is located in <conversion home>\workarea\datasources.
