ctmdefsubfolder

The ctmdefsubfolder utility creates a definition for a new Sub Folder. Sub Folders are used for jobs whose processing can be treated as a single unit. A Sub Folder can only be defined within a SMART folder, see ctmdeffolder. A Sub Folder can be empty, or it can contain jobs and also other Sub Folders. To run the ctmdefsubfolder utility, see Creating a Sub Folder using the ctmdefsubfolder utility.

For more information about parameters of Sub Folders, see Sub Folder parameters.

When using variables in ctmdefsubfolder parameters, a variable that does not contain a $ sign can be enclosed in single (‘ ’) or double (" ") quotation marks. A variable that does contain a $ sign must be enclosed in single quotation marks. A variable containing a $ sign cannot be resolved if it is enclosed in double quotation marks.

The RBC option associates Rule-Based Calendars to be used by the Sub Folder and it may appear more than once. Specified Rule-Based Calendars must be defined by the direct parent folder. The '*' means that the Sub Folder inherits all the Rule-Based Calendars from the direct parent folder. When a Sub Folder is defined without a Rule-based calendar, the Sub Folder inherits the Rule-based calendars of the direct parent. To define a Sub Folder without any Rule-based calendar associations, use the NONE option. If a Rule-based calendar is defined with the ! character at the beginning of the Rule-based calendar name, the Rule-based calendar is excluded. If this feature is disabled, an error message is displayed that you cannot define a Rule-based calendar with the ! character. For more information, see DefaultCTMExcludeRBC in Control-M/EM general parameters.

The Created by field will be set automatically with the default logged in account name if it's not specified.
