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.
