Hi,

For future purpose, there is one easy method for copy jobs in a Scheduling table
to a Group scheduling table:-

You can copy the jobs in a Scheduling table to a Group Scheduling table using
the copydefjob utility.

1. Using CONTROL-M/Desktop, define a Group Scheduling table
containing no jobs.
2. Write the Group Scheduling table to the CONTROL-M/EM
database.

3. Create a copydefjob arguments file in which jobs in a Scheduling
table are copied to the Group Scheduling table that you created:

A. Open a text editor. Format the file using the specifications in
"copydefjob Arguments File" on page 3-27.
B. Specify the CONTROL-M installation in which the jobs to be
copied reside using the DATACENTER parameter:
<DATACENTER FROM="<CTM_Name>"/>
C. Specify that the Table Name value of the jobs will change from
the name of the Scheduling table to the name of the Group
Scheduling table with the following tag:
<TABLE_NAME FROM="<Sched_Tbl_Name>"
TO="<Grp_Sched_Tbl_Name>"/>
D. Save and close the file.

4. At the command line, enter the copydefjob utility command that uses
the file that you created in the previous step:
copydefjob -u <emuser> -p <empass> -s
<hostname> -arg <arg_file_name>

5. Use the Scheduling Table Manager in CONTROL-M/Desktop to
upload the Group Scheduling table to the CONTROL-M/Server.

6. In the CONTROL-M/EM GUI, order the Group Scheduling table.
7. In the CONTROL-M/EM GUI, verify that the Group Scheduling
table now contains the jobs that were copied to it.
8. Delete the Scheduling table. It is no longer needed.


Example
This arguments file copies all jobs in the RegTable Scheduling table in
the ctm600 data center to the GrpSTable Group Scheduling table.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE COPYJOB SYSTEM "copyjob.dtd">
<COPYJOB>
<DATACENTER FROM="ctm600"/>
<TABLE_NAME FROM="RegTable" TO="GrpSTable"/>
</COPYJOB>
