Control-M/EM API configuration

This topic describes how to configure Control-M/EM API for use in your project development environment.

To start using Control-M/EM API in your project, you must configure its connection to the Web Server, which uses an http(s) request through one of the following initializations:

• Static initialization: Enables you to update the relevant parameters in the communication.xml, as described in EMThriftClientConf parameters.
• Dynamic initialization: (also overwrites static initialization) Passes the relevant parameters in the EMXMLInvoker static method, Init

API services start by using the EMXMLInvoker static method, Init. When you finish using the Control‑M/EM API use EMXMLInvoker static method, done. It stops when the Control‑M/EM API stops using the Thrift services. When your application finishes using the API, you can stop the API.

The Control‑M/EM API uses services that need to be initialized and terminated only once. There is no need to initialize and stop for every new user session or call.

The following topics describe how to configure the Control-M/EM API, and prepare, write and run your project:
