For anyone that has gone through the unix to windows conversion or uses headers in controlm to pass info to jobs in windows environment, I have a question. We currently use the set tab to pass parms to different jobs mostly dates but sometimes it's other info, how will I accomplish the same thing in the new windows environment? I'm trying to build our to do list for needed job changes. Currently a job may have the following on the set tab, this would be a way we need to take a current system date & change it into the format the job needs to run properly. Trying to figure out where we might need to put all the headers on windows server & how to point the jobs to it & if I even need to. I discovered that though we have a similar line on the set tab for sysouts that seemed to be overwriten automatically in windows to copy the job sysouts to a folder in the BMC Software dir structure. We do have some headers that aren't in the autoedit which I assume is part of control software???

LIBMEMSYM /ctlmp/u65/ctmServer/7.0/autoedit/oryyy

PARM1 %%pdate

oryyyy is a file in that dir on the unix controlm server & contains the following, ctmyyyy also resides on controlm server in dir mentioned & contains the current date in the following format for job %%HEADERX=091317 -

%%LIBMEMSYM=/ctlmp/u65/ctmServer/7.0/headers/ctmyyyy

%%header06=%%HEADERX

%%mm=%%SUBSTR %%header06 1 2

%%dd=%%SUBSTR %%header06 3 2

%%yy=%%SUBSTR %%header06 5 2

%%mmm_01=JAN

%%mmm_02=FEB

%%mmm_03=MAR

%%mmm_04=APR

%%mmm_05=MAY

%%mmm_06=JUN

%%mmm_07=JUL

%%mmm_08=AUG

%%mmm_09=SEP

%%mmm_10=OCT

%%mmm_11=NOV

%%mmm_12=DEC

%%pdate=%%dd.-%%mmm_%%mm.-20%%yy

%%pdateyy=%%dd.-%%mmm_%%mm.-%%yy

So this header would read ctmyyyy 091317 pass that to header06/HEADERX & would convert it to %pdate format which is 13-SEP-2017 which the job needs.
