Your best bet is to open a ticket with BMC. I had issues also and they had to provide some patches to make it work. This was about a year ago and at that time they said they needed to upgrade the current version to include the patches. I had SOAP issues. There is a conflict with using SOAP1 and/or S...

I have been coding for seven years and never knew you could use it that way. I even opened a ticket with BMC in the early years because there was a note in the manual stating you could perform an On * AND On * of which they determined was a misprint. I am the only Control-M person at my company and ...

At least you know that it has failed at least twice. Add a note in the email to review the attached sysout to determine if it has failed on this run. You then need to change the parameter in DO MAIL Attach sysout = YES. There is only so much you can do with the job definition. It is limited because ...

Use Steps Panel: ON Statement: *
Code: RUNCOUNT=3
DO Mail
Also change Maxreruns = 2 on the Execution Panel if you don't want it to keep rerunning past this point.

From my experience but I may be wrong, the AFT is just a client like CuteFTP or WS_FTP Pro, or FileZilla, etc. When you set up a connection account you need one of the sites to be an FTP server or both.

I have searched the EM parameters to modify this but was unsuccessful in locating it. Is it the VMVersionsNumberToKeep set at 2 o...
