Site standards management

The Site standard tool enables you to define settings that ensure Control-M Workload Change Manager web users and Control-M schedulers follow your organization's standards.

These standards are applied at the folder level, to new and existing folders, as described in Folder management. All jobs, new or old, have to comply with the Site standard rules. You can create multiple Site standards, and assign different Site standards to different folders.

You can set rules such as character length for a specific field, as described in Site standards rules editor parameters.

The Site standard tool consists of the following parts:

• Folder/job parameters: Defines rules and restrictions for specific Control-M folder/job parameters.
• Business parameters: Defines parameters specific to your business, that carry a special business meaning.
• Internal rules: Defines rules that can be reused as rules in Control-M folder/job parameters and business parameters.
• Condition format: Defines a default condition name format that is used by the Workload Change Manager web user, and the Control-M scheduler.

The Site standard rules are validated, and errors and warnings appear to the web user upon submission of the job flow as request/checking in the job flow , and to the scheduler upon check-in. The handling of these warnings/errors depends on the enforcement policy set at the folder level. For more information, see Enforcing validations.

The following procedures describe how to create, edit, duplicate, and delete a Site standard:

• Creating a Site standard
• Editing a Site standard

  You must have full privileges to create Site standards, as described in Privileges.
