Known issues for conversion of parameters and utilities

The following table describes special considerations and limitations for conversion of certain parameters or utilities.

Parameter/feature

Clarification/remarks

ctm_r3_var_man

The Copy Variant function is not supported.

-list

Not supported.

-modify

Not supported for creating new steps (not existing steps).

-acc

Mandatory, unless the -pass parameter is entered. For jobs without the -acc parameter that are based on parameters in the configuration file. For more information, see -pass parameter, below.

The account name (as represented by the -acc parameter) is left as is. The assumption is that the account conversion utility (conr3acc) was used successfully and that the new account name is identical to the original one.

-pass

This parameter is ignored if an -acc parameter is indicated (see the explanation of the -acc parameter above). If this parameter exists, the user must create an account called “DEFAULT”, as jobs are converted using this account name.

-cancel

Not Supported.

-debug

This parameter is ignored. Debugging information is recorded by Control-M for SAP according to the debug level configured in Control-M/Agent. For more information, see the Configuration Management utility in the Control-M Administration.

ctm_r3_bi_mon

Only jobs with a -start value of Y are converted. The -wait parameter is ignored.

rfc_trace

Not Supported.

Any unknown parameter

Job is not converted and an error message is issued.

Redirection

(> or >>)

Redirection symbols at the end of a command line of a job are left as is. However, this is only when jobs are converted to a command line.

Redirection symbols are removed from the command line of jobs that are converted to Control-M for SAP jobs, with a tasktype of JOB.

Output command line length greater than 512 characters

Not supported.

File path and File name

When migrating from Control-M Option for R/3 to Control-M for SAP, the File path and File name parameters are overwritten, even when the values of the parameters are not empty.
