This procedure explains how to convert PeopleSoft Option Jobs to Control-M for PeopleSoft Jobs.

This procedure is only available from the DVD.

Before You Begin

Ensure the following:

To Convert PeopleSoft Option Jobs to Control-M for PeopleSoft Jobs:

  1. Log in to Control-M Enterprise Manager Server or Client.
  2. Create a temporary directory C:\PS_OPTION on your computer.
  3. Mount the installation DVD.
  4. Copy the following files to C:\PS_OPTION folder:
  5. Create a new directory C:\PS_OPTION\ENVFILES
  6. Copy all existing Control-M Option for PeopleSoft ENV files to the new directory referred to in step 5.
  7. Navigate to <Control-M/Enterprise Manager home>\<instance>\bin directory.
  8. Execute one of the following utilities to export the Control-M Option for PeopleSoft to an output file:

    The OUT_FILE should be set relative to the C:\PS_OPTION folder created in step 2.

  9. Navigate to the temporary folder created in step 2 and execute the following command:

    ctmpsconvert <exported job def file> <converted output file name> <path to ENV files>

    The ctmpsconvert execution screen appears and ctmpsconvert log file ConvertJobs.log is created in the current executing directory.

    Assuming the exported output file resides in C:\PS_OPTION\LegacyJobDef.txt and the directory where the ENV files are stored is C:\PS_OPTION\ENVFILES, the ctmpsconvert execution command should be as follows:

    ctmpsconvert C:\PS_OPTION\LegacyJobDef.txt convertedJobDEF.txt C:\PS_OPTION\ENVFILES

    The output appears as follows:

    Convert Jobs Utility begins 11/30/10 15:28:03:405

    Total jobs = 1

    Total converted jobs = 1

    Convert Jobs Utility ends 11/30/10 15:28:03:535

  10. Import the converted job definitions from the <converted output file name> by navigating to the <Control-M/Enterprise Manager home>\<instance>\bin directory and executing the defjob or deftable utility. See Control-M Workload Automation Utilities for more information.

    The Connection Profile field in the PeopleSoft job is set according to the ENV file as <hostname>_<port>_<user>

    Ensure that the names for Connection Profiles in Control-M for PeopleSoft match the names in the ENV file.
