Control-M Usage

Presents the Control-M Usage analysis available in IBM® AD Analyze Client.

Control-M Usage tab shows the information about Control-M sources: application, folder, and job.

To display Control-M Usage tab, go to Explore Projects tab and select Control-M Usage from the Usage in Jobs list of analyses to the right of the screen.

The central part of the screen displays the list of attribute filters. The breadcrumb displays the selected projects, the selected attributes together with the filters set for each attribute.

Click the Filter field to the right of an attribute name and enter the filter that you want to use for the attributes' names. After you press Apply, only the elements that match the name filter are displayed in the Results area. Special characters can be used. For example:

"*" is used to search elements, by adding to it either prefixes or suffixes as in "AAA*" or "*AAA"
"," is used to search multiple elements as in "AAA, BBB, CCC"

Note: The special characters "*" and "," cannot be used simultaneously.

To limit the number of attributes of a certain type that are returned by the filtering operation, use the fields in the Limit column. The default limit is 50; the maximum limit can be set in the corresponding Usage Settings section from the Preferences dialog. For more information, see Control-M Usage Settings. The Context column displays the context of the filter operation where relevant. The context of the first attribute filter in the list is the project. The context of any other attribute filter in the list is the attribute above it in the list.

To the right of Attribute filters area, the list of projects is displayed. Use Save to save the current filter configuration. Use Load to load a previously saved filter configuration.

By default, Enable levels limit is selected and the number of elements that are presented in the Results area is limited by the values set in the Limit column. If you deselect this option, the Limit column from the Attribute filters area disappears and the Results area displays all the results of the analysis. Press Apply to apply the selected filters. After the filtering operation is finished, you can use the black arrow button in the upper left corner of Attribute filters area to hide it and maximize the Results area. To see the Control-M Usage parameters in a separate tab, use the arrow button in the upper right corner of the Control-M Usage tab.

The results of the filtering operation are displayed in the Results area. Use the search field to locate a specific element in the Results tree. In the upper right corner of the Results area, the following buttons are available:

Expand all: Click this button to expand the tree.

Collapse all: Click this button to fold all the tree branches.

Export Results to CSV File: Use this button to export the results together with the used filter configuration.

Place the mouse cursor over a node in the tree to display a tooltip that presents the element category and name. When you select a tree node, the area to the right of the screen is updated to display the graphs, reports, and usage analyses that can be generated for the selected element. Also, the Properties view displays the information available for the selected element.
