Enhance WAT Features for migration

We observed few limitations while migrating IWA objects using WAT. Please consider below points to be enhanced in the Workload Application Template Feature in the future release.

  1. External job and job stream dependencies are not getting reflected while migrating using WAT file.

  2. Need provision to migrate individual objects such as Jobs, Calendars, Run cycles, Event Rules and variable tables using WAT.

  3. Suggestion to make it possible to add an entire folder to a WAT file rather than adding individual job streams one by one. This will save time in scenarios of Project Migrations where more number of jobs are created under a folder and all its contents needs to be migrated as a single file.
