Promoting a workspace

The following procedure describes how to promote a workspace from one environment to another.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

• Control-M Workload Change Manager is activated. For more information, see Introduction to Control-M Workload Change Manager.
• A Promotion rule has been created for your environment, as described in Promotion rules.
• You have checked in your folders or workspace that you want to promote.

To promote a workspace:

1. In the Workspace tab, click .
2. If more than one promotion rule appears, from the Promotion Rule Selection window, select the promotion rule from the drop-down list and click OK.

   The Promote request window appears.

3. In the Promote request window, define the following parameters:
   • In the Request Details area type the values as described in Request Details parameters.
   • In the Choose Promotion Type area, select one of the following:
     • Promotion request: Enables you to send a promotion request from the source environment to the target environment.

       NOTE: If the target environment is a different Control-M/EM the submitted request appears in the target Control-M/EM environment in the Unassigned Work in the Planning Home tab.

     • Promote and check-in: Enables you to send the request to the target environment and automatically checks in folders after transformation, without any intervention from the scheduler.

       NOTE: If Promote and Check-in option or both options are disabled, your administrator has not granted you the rights for this operation.

4. Click OK.

   NOTE: A warning message may appear if the folder does not conform to the source environment promotion rules.

5. A confirmation window appears, click Yes.

   If you select, Promotion request, the folder appears in the Unassigned Work in the Planning - Home tab of the target environment. If you select Promote and check-in, the folder is automatically checked in. For more information about workspaces, see Creating a Workspace.
