Converting Control-M Option for R/3 jobs

The ctmr3con conversion utility enables you to convert jobs defined previously for Control-M Option for R/3 into jobs that can be run and monitored using Control-M for SAP. The conversion utility can only be run if you are using a Windows operating system.

NOTE: This utility can convert both command line jobs, and jobs that use the Grid functionality in Enterprise Controlstation 6.0.0x. For more information regarding which jobs can be converted, see Jobs for Control-M Option for R/3 utilities convertibility.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

• Control-M/EM version 6.2.01 or above is installed, so that folders that were created using earlier Grid functionality must first be migrated to Control-M/EM 6.2.01 and then exported, as described in Step 1 below.
• Open a new DOS prompt window.

To convert Control-M Option for R/3 jobs:

1. In Control-M/EM, export the folder that you want to convert, using the exportdeffolder utility. For more information, see the exportdeffolder utility in Control-M Utilities.
2. Run the conversion utility from the temporary directory using the following command:

   ctmr3con [-IN_FILE <input_file>]

   [-OUT_FILE <output_file>]

   [-JOB_MAN_DEF_MODE {CREATE|DEFINE|MODIFY|RUN_

   COPY|RUN_ORG|WAITONLY}]

   [-RUN_COPY_MODE {LAST|FIRST|LAST_SCHEDULED|

   FIRST_SCHEDULED}] [-HELP]

   NOTE: The syntax is available for both Microsoft Windows and UNIX operating systems. However, in UNIX you may need to add ./ before ctmr3con (for example, ./ctmr3con - IN_FILE abc.xml -JOB_MAN_DEF_MODE RUN_ORG). For more information about the parameters, see Conversion utility parameter descriptions.

   The conversion utility should only be run from the directory in which it is located.

3. Before importing the new folder into Control-M/EM, either delete the original folder (using the Local Delete functionality), or rename it.
