Detecting spawned jobs

This procedure describes how to detect spawned jobs. A spawned job is created by another (parent) job, and monitored by Control‑M. The Extractor Management utility can detect and extract spawned jobs into Control‑M.

Before you begin

• Ensure that the Parent/Child function is enabled in your SAP system.
• Assign a priority to Spawned jobs in the Extractor General Configuration tab.

To detect spawned jobs:

1. Define a regular SAP-type job in Control-M.
2. In the SAP panel, click Detect Spawned Jobs

   The Detect Spawned Jobs dialog box appears.

3. For each field, type the required value, as described in Spawned job parameters.
4. Click OK.

   The Extractor Management detects spawned jobs, according to the priority set in the General Configuration panel of the Extractor Management.
