Conversion validation

The Control-M Conversion Tool converts data from schedulers and applications to Control-M. After running a conversion, the Conversion Tool produces a report, which may contain various error, warning and information messages, which you can fix manually when loading converted data into Control-M. For more information about the Conversion Tool, see The Control-M Conversion User Guide.

The Conversion validation feature enables you to view and handle these Conversion Tool messages in the Planning domain by selecting Use Conversion validation in the Planning Options window and upload the ConversionMessages Mapping.csv file, which is automatically generated by the Conversion Tool in the following directory:

<conversion home>\workarea\datasources

For more information about the Planning Options window, see Planning settings.
