Defining CONTROL-M/EM components



This section explains how to define a new CONTROL-M/EM component and how to
update component properties.

Defining a new CONTROL-M/EM component

1 In the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager, choose Components => New =>
CONTROL-M/EM Component.

2 Fill in the CONTROL-M/EM Component dialog box:

Defining a new CONTROL-M/EM component

A At Desired State, select one of the following states:
■ Up if you want the component to be started

■ Down if you do not want the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager to start

■ the component.

BIM (Batch Impact Manager server)
GAS (Global Alerts server)
GCS (Global Conditions server)
GUI_Server
Forecast_Server

Enter the name of the component.

Optional for the GAS and GUI servers, and not relevant for the GCS server.
When defining a BIM or Forecast_Server component, you must enter the name
of the GUI server with which the component will communicate.

Observe the following guidelines when choosing a name for a new server:

■ You can define multiple GUI servers and multiple GAS servers to run
   simultaneously. (These capabilities allow you to balance job loads as needed in
  your environment.) These servers can run on the same account or on different
 hosts. Each instance of a GUI server (or GAS server) must have a unique name.
The GUI Server name and the GAS server name are used to reference both
components when using the CONTROL-M/EM client components.

■ You can specify any logical name for an instance of either component. For
   example, you can enter the virtual host name of a cluster computer in which the
  GUI Server (or Global Alerts Server) is installed, without specifying the node on
 which the component is installed.

■ By default, the GUI Server is named according to its host name. Thus, if more
   than one GUI Server exists on the same host, each instance must have a unique
  name.
3 Complete the Running on box:
A At Platform, select the operating system for the host computer on which the
component runs.
B At Host Name, enter the name of the host computer.

Updating a previously defined component
4 At Check Interval, enter how frequently, in number of seconds, you want to check
the component’s state.
5 (optional) In the Startup box, indicate the mode in which the component should
start:

■ To use a startup command other than the default, select the Override Manually
   check box and enter a command in the Command box.

■ If you want to use optional arguments for the startup command, enter them in
   the Additional Parameters box.
Updating a previously defined component

1 In the Component window of the Configuration Manager, right-click the
component and select Properties.

2 Modify the values as needed, and click OK.

Defining a CONTROL-M/Server and its Gateway

CONTROL-M refers to an instance of CONTROL-M/Server and its corresponding
Gateway.
When adding a new CONTROL-M/Server and its Gateway, you can use automatic
discovery or manual definition:

Automatic discovery bases the new server on an existing CONTROL-M, retrieving
the parameter values and requiring minimal information from you.


Defining a CONTROL-M/Server (automatic discovery method)
Defining a CONTROL-M/Server (automatic discovery method)

NOTE
This method is valid only for CONTROL-M/Server versions 6.3.01 and higher.

1 In the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager, choose Components => New =>
CONTROL-M/Server and Gateway.

2 In the CONTROL-M/Server Definition dialog box, choose Discover.

3 In the wizard, specify the CONTROL-M/Server connection parameters:

A At CONTROL-M Name, enter the logical name of the required CONTROL-M.
B At CONTROL-M ID, accept the default unique code or enter a unique 3-digit
code identifying the CONTROL-M/Server.
C At CONTROL-M Host, enter the name of the host computer on which the
CONTROL-M is installed.
D At Configuration Agent Port, enter the port number of the CONTROL-M’s
Configuration Agent.
E Click Next.

The discovery process begins. CONTROL-M automatically retrieves parameters
and shows how the discovery is progressing.

4 When the Step 3 wizard panel is displayed, ensure that Activate Gateway is
selected.

5 Review the list of retrieved parameters, and click Finish.
The new CONTROL-M is displayed in the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager
after a short period of time.
Defining a CONTROL-M/Server (manual definition method)
1 Perform one of the following in the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager:

■ To modify the definition of an existing CONTROL-M/Server, right click the
server, and choose Properties.

■ To define a new CONTROL-M/Server

— Choose Components => New => CONTROL-M/Server and Gateway.

— In the prompt, choose Define to display the CONTROL-M Definition dialog

This section explains how to add a new agent to an existing CONTROL-M, and if and
how to configure and manage remote hosts.
Planning your strategy

Completing this section can help you expedite the remaining tasks in this chapter.
This section summarizes prerequisites that you should know about before connecting
components. The provided worksheets also help you gather data that you will need
to provide for tasks in this chapter.

Before proceeding, ensure that you comply with the following requirements and
guidelines.
Deciding whether to define remote hosts
Both CONTROL-M/Agents and remote hosts have distinct advantages. Consider the
following before deciding which method to use on a particular computer:

■ The main advantage of remote hosts over CONTROL-M/Agents is that remote
hosts:

— Can run all jobs assigned to the specific node ID which identifies the remote
computer

— Do not require CONTROL-M/Agent installation on the remote computer

— Do not require version updates

— Require less management

■ The main advantages of CONTROL-M/Agents over remote hosts are that agents
support counters and multiple types of shouts:

— CONTROL-M/Agents can utilize features that require a CONTROL-M counter.
If you need any of these features, you should choose a CONTROL-M/Agent
over a remote host. For example, CONTROL-M/Agents can use the File
Watching feature, run jobs using CONTROL-M/Agent utilities, and run jobs
requiring Control Modules (plug-ins for the CONTROL-M/Agent).

— CONTROL-M/Agents support many types of shouts. (Remote host support is
limited to e-mail shouts and CONTROL-M/Server shouts.)

Planning your strategy

■ To use remote hosts, the CONTROL-M/Server must be in Managed state:

— If you discover the CONTROL-M, its default state is Managed.

— If you define the CONTROL-M, the default state is Unmanaged, and you must
change it to Managed via the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager.

Choosing a connection method for a remote host
To enable communication between the remote host and a CONTROL-M/Agent. You
can use either of the following connection methods, which are available with the
operating system:

■ Secured Shell (SSH)

You can use SSH connections for remote hosts running UNIX, Windows,
OpenVMS, Z/OS USS (OpenEdition) and PASE (AIX environment) on AS/400:

— Most UNIX operating system packages include SSH.

— To use SSH on Windows computers, you must purchase and install it
separately.

— SSH functionality on OpenVMS is available as part of TCP/IP Services Version
5.4 and higher. For older versions of OpenVMS, you must install it separately.
Third party packages are also available.

— To use SSH on AS/400 computers, you must install PASE on AS/400.
NOTE
When you work with z/OS USS (OpenEdition) or PASE AS/400 remote hosts, set the
RJX_CONN_MODE system parameter in CONTROL-M/Agent to 0.
If you will be using more simultaneous connections than your current SSH server
settings allow, you must increase the value for these settings accordingly.
EXAMPLE
For an OpenSSH server, set the MaxStartups and LoginGraceTime parameters in the
sshd_config file.


Planning your strategy

■ Window Management Instrumentation (WMI)
You can use WMI connections with remote hosts running Windows 2003,
Windows XP, or a later version. WMI is part of the Windows operating system.
NOTE
If the CONTROL-M/Agent will be connecting to a remote host on Windows by using the
WMI connection method, ensure that the following requirements are satisfied:

■ The CONTROL-M/Agent is installed on either Windows 2003, Windows XP, or a later
   version.

■ The Log On as option for the CONTROL-M/Agent service is set to This account.

■ The user account that is running the CONTROL-M/Agent service is Administrator and
   is defined as a Domain user.

■ Job owners are members of the Administrator group on the remote host.
Consider the following requirements when deciding which connection method to use
for remote hosts:

■ For Window Management Instrumentation (WMI) connections, the following
requirements apply:

— To use On statements and the View JCL, Edit JCL, and View Sysout options, you
must define a directory named SYSOUT on the remote host. This directory must
be writable by all the job owners on that host. This directory must also be shared
so that the CONTROL-M/Agent user can access it for reading and writing.
When defining the properties of a remote host, specify the full local path (for
example, C:\shared documents\SYSOUT) of this directory so that the job output
will be written to it.

— SYSOUTs created on remote hosts must be copied to a CONTROL-M/Agent. If
a SYSOUT is large, its file transfer can place a heavy load on system resources.
Also, a job will not end until its SYSOUT copying is finished.

■ For Secured Shell (SSH) connections, you must ensure that an SSH Server is
installed and running on each remote host.



A CONTROL-M/Agent should be installed first before it is defined. For information about
installing CONTROL-M/Agents, see the CONTROL-M Installation Guide.

1 From the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager, perform one of the following:

■ To modify the parameters of an existing CONTROL-M/Agent, right click the
agent and choose Properties.
The CONTROL-M/Agent Properties dialog box is displayed.

■ To add a new CONTROL-M/Agent to a CONTROL-M/Server, right click the
CONTROL-M/Server and choose New CONTROL-M/Agent.
The Add CONTROL-M/Agent dialog box is displayed. Fill in the name for the
agent. Click Advanced.


2 In the appropriate dialog box, fill in the fields in the General, Persistent Connection
and Retry/Timeout tabs.



CONTROL-M/Agents and remote hosts



In earlier releases of CONTROL-M/Server, each computer on which you planned to
run jobs required installation of a CONTROL-M/Agent. Beginning with version
6.3.01, CONTROL-M/Server supports agentless job submission. This method enables
submitting and executing jobs on computers that do not have a resident

CONTROL-M/Agent installed. These agentless computers are referred to as remote
hosts.
Although remote host computers do not require a resident CONTROL-M/Agent,
remote hosts come under the control of CONTROL-M/Agents on other computers, as
follows:

■ When you install CONTROL-M/Server in UNIX, a CONTROL-M/Agent is
   automatically installed on the same account. When you install
  CONTROL-M/Server in Windows, a CONTROL-M/Agent is automatically
 installed on the same computer, unless one already exists or you are performing a
cluster install. This automatically installed CONTROL-M/Agent is known as the
<Local> agent and is, by default, the agent that is used to connect to remote hosts.

■ You can place remote hosts under the control of any other CONTROL-M/Agents
   installed on computers under the same CONTROL-M/Server.
You will need to define the following information for each remote host:

■ host communication settings
You can define specific settings for a host, or use the default settings. For more
information, see “Configuring and managing remote hosts”

■ owner authentication settings
These settings specify the owners of the jobs that are running on the remote host,
and owner authentication parameters that are used for connecting to the remote
host. In a CONTROL-M job that is destined to be run on a remote host, you must
define each job owner that is specified.


CONTROL-M/Server definition and management


Several terms describe the definition and management of a CONTROL-M/Server:

■ Discovery/Define

When defining CONTROL-M/Servers and their gateways (which you do using the
CONTROL-M/Server Definition dialog box), you can choose either of the
following definition methods:

— Automatic discovery—provides automatic detection of a CONTROL-M/Server
and gateway, with minimal information supplied. (This option is available in
CONTROL-M/Server version 6.3.01 and later.)

— Manual definition—you manually define a CONTROL-M/Server and
corresponding Gateway.



■ Managed / Unmanaged —Managed and Unmanaged are modes of connection
between CONTROL-M/EM and CONTROL-M/Server.

— If a CONTROL/Server is Managed, the Configuration Agent automatically
provides CONTROL-M/EM parameter information about the
CONTROL-M/Server, and on an ongoing basis updates that information
whenever there is a change.

— If a CONTROL-M/Server is unmanaged, you must manually provide
CONTROL-M/EM with the CONTROL-M/Server parameters.
CONTROL-M/EM automatically manages CONTROL-M/Server version 6.3.01
and later, and CONTROL-M for z/OS versions 6.2.A and later. Furthermore, you
must manually manage CONTROL-M/Server versions earlier than 6.3.01 and
CONTROL-M for z/OS versions prior to 6.2.A.
In certain circumstances, you can choose to bypass automatic management of
CONTROL-M/Server versions 6.3.01 and later, and manually manage those
versions, though this is generally not recommended.
When you use Discovery to define CONTROL-M/Servers, they are automatically
Managed; when you manually define CONTROL-M/Servers, they are Unmanaged.
Using the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager, you can change the connection
mode (managed/unmanaged) of existing CONTROL-M/Servers.

Starting and stopping infrastructure processes in UNIX and Linux



In Unix and Linux, you must start processes after their host computer is booted up, and you must stop them before shutting down the host computer.

Although you can do this manually, you can instead add process startup or shutdown commands to the
operating system startup and shutdown scripts of the host computer.


To start processes on Unix and Linux

Add the following commands to the start-up script of your operating system as
appropriate:


su - ecs_account -c start_ns_daemon
su - ecs_account -c start_server
su - ecs_account -c start_cms
su - ecs_account -c start_config_agent
su - ecs_account -c start_web_server.sh


To stop processes on Unix and Linux


Add the following commands to the shut-down script of your operating system as
appropriate:

ecs ctl -U CONTROL-M/EM_database_owner -P CONTROL-M/EM_database_owner_password -C Maint_Agent -M hostname -cmd shutdown


su - ecs_account -c "stop_server -U db_server_administrator_name -P db_server_administrator_name"
su - ecs_account -c stop_ns_daemon
su - ecs_account -c stop_cms
su - ecs_account -c stop_config_agent
su - ecs_account -c stop_web_server.sh




Starting and stopping infrastructure processes in Windows


On Windows, all CONTROL-M/EM, CONTROL-M/Server, and
CONTROL-M/Agent processes are defined as services.

By default, they are automatically started when you bring Windows up, and they are automatically
stopped when you bring Windows down.

Therefore, it is normally not necessary for you to perform startup or shutdown of
these processes. However, you can bring these services down or up whenever useful.



To stop CONTROL-M/EM, CONTROL-M/Server, or CONTROL-M/Agent services in Windows

1. Choose Start => Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Services.
2. Right click the service, and choose Stop.

To start CONTROL-M/EM, CONTROL-M/Server, or CONTROL-M/Agent services in Windows

1. Choose Start => Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Services.
2. Right click the service, and choose Start.

CONTROL-M/EM architectural structure







client components

The primary client components include:
— CONTROL-M Configuration Manager GUI—the main CONTROL-M
administrator interface to CONTROL-M/EM, CONTROL-M/Server and
CONTROL-M/Agent. It provides a single point of control for administering the
CONTROL-M environment and enables you to manage many of your
CONTROL-M administrative tasks from a central location.


— CONTROL-M/Desktop—GUI interface used by end-users for modeling the
production environment (defining jobs).

— CONTROL-M/EM GUI—GUI interface used by end-users and administrators
for monitoring the production environment and intervening when necessary.

— CONTROL-M Reporting facility—facility and GUI used by end-users and
administrators for generating useful reports of many types.

— Command line utilities—Many functions that are available through the GUIs
are also available through the use of interactive and batch utilities.


CONTROL-M/EM server components

— GUI Server—provides information to, and handles user requests issued
through, the CONTROL-M/Enterprise Manager window.

— Gateway—interface that handles communication between CONTROL-M/EM
and CONTROL-M/Server. A different gateway is dedicated to each
CONTROL-M/Server. The gateway is defined when the CONTROL-M/Server
is defined. CONTROL-M/EM and CONTROL-M for z/OS also interface
through a gateway.

— Configuration Management Server (CMS)—interfaces with the configuration
agents of CONTROL-M/Server and CONTROL-M for z/OS to provide
information to, and handle administrator requests issued through, the
CONTROL-M Configuration Manager.

— Global Alerts server (GAS) —manages alerts to CONTROL-M/EM GUIs
— Global Conditions server (GCS)—distributes global conditions to different
CONTROL-Ms.

— Batch Impact Manager (BIM) server—monitors critical batch services when your
site uses the BMC Batch Impact Manager add-on.

— Forecast server—helps you predict job patterns in order to forecast schedules for
running jobs in the future, when your site uses the CONTROL-M/Forecast
add-on.


CONTROL-M/Server and Agent components


infrastructure components
These components include:
— CONTROL-M/EM Configuration Agent—interface between
CONTROL-M/EM Configuration Manager Server and other CONTROL-M/EM
servers that provides CONTROL-M/EM server information to, and handles
administrator requests issued through, the CONTROL-M Configuration
Manager.

— CONTROL-M/EM database (Oracle, Sybase, MSSQL, or PostgreSQL) where
CONTROL-M/EM data resides

— CORBA-based naming services, which enables the client to locate the server to
which it must connect. For more information, see Appendix A, “Configuring
CORBA components.”

— CONTROL-M Web Server, used for deploying CONTROL-M client components
on client computers.


CONTROL-M/Server and Agent architectural structure



CONTROL-M/Server


Heart of the CONTROL-M family of products, CONTROL-M/Server submits jobs
for execution on Agent or remote host computers, monitors the jobs and performs
post-processing analysis, after which it may perform post-processing actions. The
completion status of jobs and the results of post-processing analysis are
transmitted to CONTROL-M/Enterprise Manager.


Agent computers


An agent computer is one on which CONTROL-M/Agent has been installed.
CONTROL-M/Agent submits jobs for execution, monitors the jobs, and performs
post-processing analysis of output files. The completion status of jobs and the
results of post-processing analysis are transmitted back to CONTROL-M/Server.
CONTROL-M/Agent can submit jobs to a remote host for execution.


Remote host computers

Agentless computer on which jobs can run. Each remote host is identified by its
node ID.

Control Modules

Control Modules (CMs) enable CONTROL-M/Agents to interface with the
external applications (for example SAP and Oracle E-Business Suite).

Infrastructure components

These components include:

— CONTROL-M/Server Configuration Agent —interfaces with
CONTROL-M/EM Configuration Manager Server to provide
CONTROL-M/Server information to, and handle administrator requests issued
through, the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager.

— CONTROL-M/Server database (Oracle, Sybase, MSSQL, or PostgreSQL)—
repository of CONTROL-M/Server data. One database exists for each
CONTROL-M/Server, which maintains the database by using a dedicated or
shared SQL server.
