Reply to my own post
On another point about the AFT FW. When I look at the AFT FT window, I have a field Auto-Edit containing detected file name %%. See below. Now this value cannot possibly be known to CTM until the file is created. Which may be days after the job started executing. So it would seem that CTM can assign...

cyclic job waiting for a file
IF you are on v7, do two jobs. First a filewatcher. cyclic job, and set the from time in execution tab. Set absolute stop time in FW parms. In your STEP tab set OK if file not found. SETCOND to release the next job which is the script. Set NOTOK if reach absolute stop time and Do SETCOND to "N" so s...

AFT Advanced Post FTP Command rename with Date-time
News alert. %%DATE %%$DATE %%TIME all receive their values at Job Submission time. Indeed, when the job is Ordered, that time is set. So, If you have a AFT with FileWatch and add date-time to the file name using %%DATE-%%TIME then your values will be wrong, perhaps wildly wrong (by the time from Ord...

Best location for AFT server
Is it the case that having an AFT server on one of the endpoints of a file transfer is more efficient than having the server on the CTM Server. For example: Server A is the source Server B is the Destination Server C is the CTM server As I understand AFT, you have much more overhead with the AFT ser...

How to...
Basics of passing parms to scripts/commands: IF you are running a "Command" rather than a job, just put the %%var in your command line. For an imbedded script in your "OS" job. First go to the "Set" tab in your job an create PARM1 and give it a value. Then use "$1" in your unix script or %1 in Windo...

ODATE?
Are ALL of your conditions based on ODATE? I assume that after newday, you have a new ODATE for each set. If your conditions are set with this in mind, that should keep them separate by odate.

Where to start ?
SO MANY places to check. Yes, Control-M posted it. You have to check your local eMail server to see the delay between the eMail server received it, and then when the eMail server sent it. Then you need a way to check when the local user's eMail server received it (assuming the user is not using the ...

Try LOAD on Account, Program, Variant etc
Very odd to get no Sysout. My first try would be to open up the Job in the Desktop and do LOAD on the SAP account, Program, Variant. I suspect something is not quite right. Program will never run without these loading, and most of the time when these load the job runs. Good luck.

Works fine in V7+
I am on v7 and it works just fine. Indeed I have system vars set for standard DOMAIL messages used by almost all jobs. Saves a lot of time and gives users a consistent message format . There is one "gotcha" an that is the 99 char limit in Subject lines. Easy to exceed when using Symbolics. You might...

Need SOURCE from Piyush
Unfortunately what Piyush sent to Jesus is an executable program rather than "source" which means there is no way to modify and fix or otherwise use the source. Jesus ! If you have an eMail address for Piyush would you please request the "source" and assure him we will not bother him for any debuggi...

Someone please send me Piyush's code
PIYUSH ! Please send out the code "as is". No one should expect you to adapt the code for every version/release of Control-M. That is up to each user. At least one person has received the .NET source code from Piyush but it seemed to not work for their version/release. (Smart Tables in V7 really cha...

Another way to approach this from BMC support
Got this from BMC support. A good approach to this thing... You might also want to consider using a list of variables that is accessed via the %%LIBMEMSYM variable. The %%LIBMEMSYM AutoEdit variable can be used in the AutoEdit Assignment or Do AutoEdit parameters to indicate a text file containing a...

WHOO HOO I figured it out
It would seem that you are not entirely correct. When you think about it, what I am trying to do is put $CALCULATE into a global variable to be executed later. I am NOT trying to execute it. While it is in the global variable it is just a character string. That's all. To test my theory, I decided to...
