BMC Control-M Architecture

Control-M is a workload automation solution that allows users to automate batch processing jobs across multiple platforms. It has several key components including an Enterprise Manager, Servers, Agents, remote hosts, control modules, add-ons, and a client. The Enterprise Manager provides centralized access and control. Servers schedule and manage jobs which are run by Agents or on remote hosts. Control modules and add-ons provide advanced functionality. The client is used to define and monitor jobs.

Introduction
Control-M Workload Automation is a solution to your
batch processing production control requirements,
which lets you automate the scheduling of your
batch flows, and lets you monitor the processing of
your batch flows.
It is a multiplatform tool, allows to schedule jobs on
unix based (Solaris, Linux, AIX, HP-UX), windows
based and some other powerful platforms such as
IBM Z/OS, iSeries machines etc
Enables to define, schedule change and monitor
complex batch services.
Enables predictive analytics that help to address
problems before they effect business.
Control-M Architecture
Following are the components of Control-M
Control-M/Enterprise Manager
Control-M/Server
Control-M Agent
Agentless Remote Hosts
Control Modules
Control-M Add-on
Control-M Client
Working of Control-M
Control-M Enterprise Manager
The Control-M/Enterprise Manager is a workload
automation tool which provides a single,
centralized point of access and control of your
batch processing environment.
It controls the entire organization batches (Jobs)
i.e. there will be only one Control-M/Enterprise
Manager for whole organization.
Control-M Enterprise Manager handles multiple
Control-M/Servers and it is platform independent. It
means it can handle Control-M/Servers running on
different platform.
Control-M Enterprise Manager has a centralized
database which keeps all job details running on
different Control-M/Servers.
Control-M/Server
Control-M/Servers are the heart of Control-M processing.
These are the scheduling engines that schedule jobs,
manage job processing flows, and provide notification of
job flow status.
Control-M/Server database—each Control-M/Server has
its own database that contains the job processing
definitions (organized by scheduling table) for which it is
responsible.
Control-M/Server submits jobs for execution on Control-
M/Agent or Remote host computer, monitors the jobs
and perform post processing analysis.
After job completion it sends the status of job back to the
Control-M/Enterprise Manager.
Control-M Agent
 As the name implies, a Control-M/Agent is
an agent of Control-M/Server.
A Control-M/Agent runs jobs on behalf of its
requesting Control-M/Server, tracks the job
processing, and returns status information
back to the Control-M/Server.
Remote Hosts
As an alternative to having a dedicated
Control-M/Agent installed, Control-M jobs
can be submitted to remote hosts without
having Control-M/Agents installed on the
remote host computers.
There are certain advantages of Control-
M/Agent and Remote host on which we can
decide weather to install agent or
configure Remote Host.
Control-M/Agent v/s Remote
Host
Remote Host Advantages:
 It does not require any installation.
 It does not require upgrade.
 Easy to add and Remove.

Control-M/Agent Advantages:
 Control-M/Agent supports Control Modules which
provides additional facilities like running file transfer
jobs, executing database queries etc
 It comes with additional File Watcher feature.
 We can run jobs using Control-M/Agent utilities.
Control Modules
Control Modules are the additional modules
which provides advance features in Control-
M.
Following are some of the control modules
Advance File Transfer module (AFT)
Database Module
Self Service
Business Process Integration module (BPI)
SAP module
PeopleSoft, Informatica, Oracle Buisiness Suite and
many more.
Control-M modules are installed on ontrol-M
Agent.
Control-M Add-on
Control-M also provide some add-ons to
enhance the control-M functionality.
Following are the add-ons available in
Control-M:
Forecast
Batch Impact Manager (BIM)
Control-M Workload Change Manager

Control-M Add-ons are installed on Control-


M/Enterprise Manager.
Control-M Client
Control-M Client is a windows based
graphical user interface used to draft and
monitor jobs.
Control-M Client also include Control-M
Configuration Manager to manage
configuration and Control-M Reporting
Facility to generate various reports.
Control-M Client provide following GUIs
Control-M Workload Automation View
Control-M Configuration Manager (CCM)
View
Control-M Reports View
Working of Control-M
Data Definition File / Job Definition File
Active Job File
Control-M Enterprise Manager database
keeps the “permanent” copies of the job
processing definitions—permanent insofar
as they remain unchanged until you modify
or delete them
