I did have issues with NULL values & parameters - in v6.3 the parameter field should be left blank; in v7.0 you should enter null into the field or you'll get an error. This was with an Oracle stored proc though.

All my databse module jobs show stats of ~30s. it's screwing up my reports against CMR_RUNINF. I understand this is a bug; currently running v6.301; does anyone know if a fixpack or upgrade resolves this issue? Been reading through BMC release notes etc and not getting any answers.

Are you using the SAP CM? It sounds like a 'parent' job in SAP that spawns a multitude of 'child' jobs for mass parallel processing. You will be need to configure the extractor process on Control-M side and have BASIS check it is enabled in SAP. Be aware that if there are 300-odd child jobs it will ...

I have a requirement to split a run stream; in the event of certain conditions a manual approval request job needs to be submitted. Otherwise an auto approval job runs by default. The users will need the ability to make an instant change. I have tested two methods: First is to set an 'AUTO' and 'MAN...

I have used both methods. Ideal configuration is to centralise the SAP CM, install it on the agent on your control-m server for exampe and set up an accound to connect to each of your message servers (e.g. one BW account, one R3 account etc) - submit all your jobs here and let SAP do the load balanc...

The owner of the job also needs to have permissions to write to the control-m sysout directory. Usually this means adding the job owner id to the control-m owners group, or opening up the permissions on the sysout directory to allow any user access. In a prod environment group access is the way to go.

Looks good to me but #8 can be a bit of a trick question, the CM is installed on each agent it is required generally but for example, we use a central agent for all SAP instances, requiring only one install of the SAP CM to cover the whole SAP production environment.

I was recently involved with questions about using AFT to move files from our Fujitsu ICL platform (I assume running VME) to Windows environments. It is not currently supported, but BMC were interested in assisting with some testing I believe. You may get somewhere contacting them directly. Currentl...

I'm not familiar with 6.4 , but in 6.3 you can run a find/update for 'In Conditions' and 'Out Conditions'; you could use this for example to run an update "find like * update *-test. Repeat for both In and Out conditions.

Hi, I thought I would update this thread as I had a very similar problem, and could not find the answer. But I think i have figured it out. There were some 'dissapeared' extracted jobs after a SAP app instance went down, these failed when we rebooted and the agent was restarted. However, Control-M s...

I spoke to BMC on Monday about similar issues, they are aware there is still a delay (which will be addressed in the next release) as you describe but I don't think it should be quite so servere. We usually see a delay of 1-3 minutes and this usually only affects our Mass Parallel and BW jobs. We ar...

Yes, I removed all filters.

I think there is a bigger issue now as global conditions from this server are not picked up also, so I will have to run some diagnostics. I am resisting temptation to just bounce the server as I would like to find the root cause.

Hi, I've been working with the implementation of a new Control-M Server, and alerts for failed messages are not showing up on the global alerts window. It was working, i resumed some testing today and now no failure alerts are appearing. I'm still getting alerts for job failures on the other servers...

Thanks guys! I've installed UltraEdit and used it to run some mass update scripts, making sure all unwanted resources are stripped out of the XML and then the correct resource is added :) This saved me about 3 days of intensive manual updating and can be used to mass-update other criteria in the fut...

I had a look at that option, but it seems the string for QUANTITATIVE NUMBER is sometimes at the end (before </JOB>) and sometimes before the conditions, sometimes in between the in conditions string and out conditions string!! Could I just put it at the end in any case (i.e before </JOB>) or will t...
