ctmdeffolder

The ctmdeffolder utility creates a job definition for a new SMART Folder. SMART Folders are used for jobs whose processing can be treated as a single unit. The definition created using this utility contains values for parameters that affect handling of the entire collection of jobs in the SMART Folder. A SMART Folder can be empty, or it can contain jobs and also Sub Folders, see ctmdefsubfolder. To run the ctmdeffolder utility, see Creating SMART Folders with definitions using the ctmdeffolder utility.

For more information about parameters of SMART Folders, see Job definition.

NOTE: When a Sub Folder is defined using ctmdeffolder without any Rule-Based Calendar being specified, the Sub Folder inherits all Rule-Based Calendars.

The following are the ctmdeffolder utility syntax rules:

• When using variables in cmtdeffolder 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.
• If you define a new Rule-based calendar 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.
