CtmFolder Class

The following table describes the CtmFolder API class that defines and retrieves Control-M Folder attributes for folders that you create through Control-M Self Conversion.

Method	Description
getFolderInputXmlData():CtmXmlElement Class	Returns CtmXmlElement Class, which contains the XML element that was used during creation of the folder. To create a Control-M folder from XML elements, the Control-M Self Conversion engine builds a map between the folder instance and the specific XML element in the input data. Folder XML elements usually contain additional folder data within XML element attributes or XML sub-elements (such as Folder Name). The folder XML element can be used as input data for other rules (such as Create Folder Name). For an example, see Creating a Folder.
getJobs(): List<CtmJob Class>	Returns all folder's jobs children. If no jobs exist an empty list is returned.
getSubFolders(): List<CtmFolder Class>	Returns all folder's sub folders children. If no sub folders exist an empty list is returned.
getAllSubEntities(): List<CtmBaseEntity>	Returns all folder's jobs and sub folders children. If no jobs or sub folders exist an empty list is returned. Note: CtmBaseEntity exposes jobs and folders common APIs.
getParentFolder():CtmFolder Class	Returns the parent folder.
general():CtmFolder Class	Returns CtmFolder Class, which enables you to define general settings for the folder (such as Folder Name).
scheduling():CtmFolder Class	Returns CtmFolder Class, which enables you to define scheduling settings (such as From Time) for the folder.
prerequisites():CtmFolder Class	Returns CtmFolder Class, which enables you to define prerequisites (such as an In Event) for the folder.
actions():CtmFolder Class	Returns CtmFolder Class, which enables you to define actions (such as an Out Event) for the folder.
