You can "capture" the flow that you see on the monitor with one of many utilities thatpermit you to campure a portion of the screen that you select.
If the flow is more large than a single image you can capture two images and then merge them with a graphical software.

Is also possible to capture the scree wiuth the "Print" key, that copy the screen image to the clipboard and then paste it were you want.

Hi Mauriziog

You are totally right. It's not a graphical view.
So it exist another tool working from Control-M Jobs defintion and able to give you graphical view.

It's Visual Jobs. Here is link

you can print a draft in 6.3

mauriziog · Post by **mauriziog** » 11 Sep 2007 7:21

Yes, also in 6.2.
But if you want to have a grphic file of the flow to add in the documentation you can build it capturing the desktop image area and merging it. Is not so complicated and not so important for the application working and performances but if were possible to export in a image file the draft may be can be more easy.

Hi everybody

I have seen a VisualJob presentation today.
I confirm is it totaly what you need and some other reports very interesting.
Simple to be install, whitout databases, using standard Control-M utilities.

Go on their site and try it.

A draft from the desktop application works fine with me.
If I have selected all the applications that I want to draft, and then easily delete the ones which are of no interest, I print this to a Microsoft Office Document Image Writer which creates .mdi files which can be easily shared with my clients.

to simply capture what is on your screen, you can use printscreen:

if you still do not like the result, and what better control-m flowcharts, have a look at visual job:
