How to start and stop a Control-M Server

Control-M is for me the best Scheduler out there.

The BMC team is listening to its customers and their needs (that's pretty rare in this business...) and are always innovative. More info here This first post is about checking, starting and stopping the Control-M Server (Windows host).

 First open the cmd:

 



 Now, enter "ctm_menu"

 

 Ok, here the ctm_menu. To check, start or stop a Control-M Server,  enter option n°1
 

We have many options here, we will see this later ;)

Now type 1 "Check All" option
   

This option check all the Control-M Server components on the host.
    

Fine ! Everything is working. Now if you want shutdown all the component : Choose the option n°6
 

You can stop a specific component ==> Stopping the database : 7 Stopping Control-M Server : 8 Stopping the configuration agent : 9   Starting all or a specific component is the same way...Choose the good option ;).
