Source Data Extraction

Before you can convert your data to Control-M, you must extract it from your source scheduler.

The following lists the available extraction options for each scheduler:

Broadcom AppWorx Data Extraction

To extract the source data in AppWorx, create the following files in Appworx:

  • .exp: Enables you to migrate between two AppWorx Application Managers. This file contains all your environment definitions. You need to export the .exp file from your AppWorx environment to the conversion environment using the AppWorx export utility. For more information, see Exporting the AppWorx .exp File.

  • NodeMapping.txt: Enables you to map the operating system for each host used in the .exp file. You must import the NodeMapping.txt output file into the conversion environment. For more information, see Importing the Node Mapping File.

Exporting the AppWorx .exp File

This procedure describes how to export AppWorx objects to an .exp file. For more details about exporting objects, see the AppWorx Administration Guide.

  1. From the Export window of the AppWorx environment, select the objects you want to convert to Control-M, and click the arrow to move the objects to the Objects to be exported area.

  2. Click the Reference tab, select the dependencies and move them to the Objects to be exported area.

  3. Click Export.

    The file is saved as an .exp file.

  4. Verify that there are no missing modules or libraries as follows:

    1. Search for CHECK M or CHECK L at the beginning of the .exp file.

      CHECK M xxx: missing Module xxx.

      CHECK L xxx: missing Library xxx.

      These messages indicate that modules or libraries are missing.

    2. Open the .exp file with an editing tool.

  5. Do one of the following:

    6. The .exp file is successfully exported when No CHECK messages appear.

Fixing a Check Module Message

This procedure describes how to fix a CHECK Module message in the .exp file.

    The script produces a NodeMapping.txt output file.

  3. Copy the NodeMapping.txt output file to the conversion environment.

Broadcom Automic (UC4) Data Extraction

You must extract UC4 data per object type, such as Jobs, Agents, and Groups, into separate XML files.

Extract UC4 job object types into a Job XML file, and UC4 Agent object types to an Agent XML file.

Job objects are mandatory, and BMC recommends to include as many objects as possible for better conversion results.

Extract UC4 data to XML using one of the following methods:

  • UC4 Explorer: Extracts UC4 data to XML through the Export function in UC4 Explorer, as described in Extracting Objects of the Same Type to One File and Exporting Objects to Separate Files.

    • Do not use this export function for mass transports when using the UC4 Explorer.

    • The UC4 administrator can limit the maximum number of objects that are exported at one time. Use the key MAX_EXPORT_COUNT in the UC4 Variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS for this purpose.

Extracting Objects of the Same Type to One File

This procedure describes how to extract objects with the same type to one file using the UC4 File Explorer.

Before you begin

Ensure that the installed Service Pack version is at least the same as the source system (XML file).

Begin

  1. From the UC4 File Explorer click Search.

    The Search window appears.

  2. In the Name field, type *.

  3. In the Search For field, select Objects, and then from the drop-down list, select the object type you want to export, such as jobs.

    Do not use this export function for mass transports when using the UC4 Explorer. For more information, see the UC4 Administration Guide.

  4. Limit the maximum number of objects that are exported at one time with the MAX_EXPORT_COUNT in the UC4 Variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS for this purpose.

  5. Click Start.

    A list of search results appears.

  6. Select all by pressing Ctrl + A.

  7. From the File menu, select Export.

    The Save dialog box appears.

  8. Click Save.

Exporting Objects to Separate Files

This procedure describes how to extract each object to a separate file using the UC4 File Explorer.

  • Do not use this export function for mass transports when using the UC4 Explorer.

  • The UC4 administrator can limit the maximum number of objects that are exported at one time. Use the key MAX_EXPORT_COUNT in the UC4 Variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS for this purpose.

Before you begin

Ensure that the installed Service Pack version is at least the same as the source system (XML file).

Begin

  1. From the UC4 File Explorer click Search.

    The Search window appears.

  2. In the Name field, type *.

  3. In the Search For field, select the Objects and then from the drop-down list, select the object type you want to export, such as jobs.

    Do not use this export function for mass transports when using the UC4 Explorer. For more information, see the UC4 Administration Guide.

  4. Click Start.

    A list of search results appears.

  5. Right click on one of the objects, and select Export.

    The Save dialog box appears.

  6. Save as a .csv file.

  7. Create a new directory and copy the .csv file to the new directory.

  8. Run the following script:

    :SET &HOST# = "<name of Host>"

    :SET &CSV_FILE# = "<name of the file and full directory of the exported objects to csv>"

    :SET &EXPORT_PATH# = "<name of the target path directory>"

    :SET &HND#=PREP_PROCESS_FILE(&HOST#,&CSV_FILE#,,"COL=DELIMITER",'DELIMITER=";"')

    :PROCESS &HND#

    : SET &Line#=GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#,1)

    : PRINT "<&Line#>"

    : SET &OBJECT# = &Line#

    : SET &File# = "&EXPORT_PATH#&line#.xml"

    : SET &Ret# = EXPORT (&Object#, &File#)

    :ENDPROCESS

    This script runs on the WIN01 host and the .csv file is saved as Search.csv in the C:\temp directory and is exported to the C:temp\export directory:

    :SET &HOST# = "WIN01"

    :SET &CSV_FILE# = "c:\temp\search.csv"

    :SET &EXPORT_PATH# = "C:\temp\export\

    :SET &HND#=PREP_PROCESS_FILE(&HOST#,&CSV_FILE#,,"COL=DELIMITER",'DELIMITER=";"')

    :PROCESS &HND#

    : SET &Line#=GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#,1)

    : PRINT "<&Line#>"

    : SET &OBJECT# = &Line#

    : SET &File# = "&EXPORT_PATH#&line#.xml"

    : SET &Ret# = EXPORT (&Object#, &File#)

    :ENDPROCESS

Extracting UC4 Data to XML Using an Export Script

This procedure describes how to automatically export many objects to XML using an export script.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

  • The installed Service Pack version must be at least the same as the source system (XML file).

  • You have the permissions to run the export script function from the Client where the object currently exists.

Begin

  1. Log in to client 0 (Admin-Client).

  2. Open UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS.

  3. Set the MAX_EXPORT_COUNT parameter to 1000000 (maximum).

    You do not need to restart.

  4. Save the object.

  5. Log in to the production client(s) and type the following script:

    :SET &OBJECT# = "<object_name>"

    :SET &FILE# = "<file_name>"

    :SET &RET# = EXPORT(&OBJECT#,&FILE#)

    If you have large files, filter the type of objects you want to convert.

  6. Split multiple objects in one XML file by running the SplitToSpecificObjectFiles.pl script located in the following directory:

    <Conversion home>\scripts\uc4

This example uses an export script with the calendar filter, which enables you to export only objects with the name Calendar:

:SET &OBJECT# = "CALE.*"

:SET &FILE# = "C:\temp\export\automic_CALENDAR_export.xml"

:SET &RET# = EXPORT(&OBJECT#,&FILE#)

By adapting the first Script-Line (:SET &OBJECT#=”[OBJECT_NAME_WITH_WILDCARDS”) you can also modify the exports. For instance, if your Calendars use the default naming convention, which starts with CALE.[NAME], you can create one xml-file for all calendars as shown above.

    • Discovery Password

    The Conversion Tool connects to BMC Discovery and converts Cron jobs that are found by BMC Discovery to Control-M.

Cron Data Extraction Using Control-M/Agents

You can use the Control-M/Agent or Agents, installed on the same machine as the Conversion Tool, to collect Cron data from available Agents and Remote Hosts. The computer where both Control-M/Agent and Conversion Tool must run Windows. The other Remote Hosts may be Windows or Linux/UNIX.

The Control-M/Agent uses Control-M jobs and Agent utilities to collect the Cron data. The Control-M jobs run by the Agent executes a script file to collect data and to view a list of available hosts. The following script files are used, which are dependent on the host platform:

  • UNIX: captureScriptUnix.txt

  • Windows: captureScriptWindows.txt.

To start the collection of data by Control-M/Agents, a job is submitted to the primary Control-M/Server. After a list of available hosts is created, in the Conversion Tool, you can select the hosts that from which you want to collect data. A job is then submitted to each selected host to retrieve the Cron data.

Setting Up the Cron Conversion Environment Using Control-M/Agents

This procedure describes how to use Control-M/Agents to extract your Cron data.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

  • Control-M/Agent is installed and running on the same environment as the Conversion Tool.

MS Task Scheduler Data Extraction

Extract Task Scheduler data using one of the following methods:

Configuring Control-M Fields for Task Scheduler Jobs

This procedure describes how to configure Control-M fields for Task Scheduler jobs.

As Task Scheduler does not have folders, Applications, or Sub-Application fields, you configure these fields for the jobs that BMC Discovery is importing to Control-M by changing the default values in the setting.cfg file to the values you set.

Begin

  1. Close the Conversion Tool.

  2. Locate the setting.cfg file in <Conversion Home>\data\ and set one or more of the following parameters:

    • MS_DISCOVERY_JOBS_FOLDER_NAME=Conversion_discovery_MS

    • MS_DISCOVERY_JOBS_APPLICATION=Conversion_discovery

    • MS_DISCOVERY_JOBS_SUB_APPLICATION=MS

    All jobs converted using BMC Discovery have folder, Application and Sub-Application fields set to the values you set.

  3. Complete the Extracting Task Scheduler Data Using BMC Discovery procedure.

Extracting Task Scheduler Data Using BMC Discovery

This procedure describes how to extract Task Scheduler data using BMC Discovery.

Begin

  1. Install and learn how use BMC Discovery.

  2. In the Conversion Tool, in the Load Data window, define the following:

    • Discovery Server Host

    • Discovery User

    • Discovery Password

    The Conversion Tool connects to BMC Discovery and converts Task Scheduler jobs that are found by BMC Discovery to Control-M.

Task Scheduler Data Extraction Using Control-M/Agents

You can use the Control-M/Agent or Agents, installed on the same machine as the Conversion Tool, to collect Task Scheduler data from available Agents and Remote Hosts. The computer where both Control-M/Agent and Conversion Tool must run Windows. The other Remote Hosts may be Windows or Linux/UNIX.

The Control-M/Agent uses Control-M jobs and Agent utilities to collect the Task Scheduler data. The Control-M jobs run by the Agent executes a script file to collect data and to view a list of available hosts. The following script files are used, which are dependent on the host platform:

  • UNIX: captureScriptUnix.txt

  • Windows: captureScriptWindows.txt.

To start the collection of data by Control-M/Agents, a job is submitted to the primary Control-M/Server. After a list of available hosts is created, in the Conversion Tool, you can select the hosts that from which you want to collect data. A job is then submitted to each selected host to retrieve the Task Scheduler data.

Setting Up the Task Scheduler Conversion Environment Using Control-M/Agents

This procedure describes how to use Control-M/Agents to extract your Task Scheduler data,.

Before you begin
