Activating Control-M from AWS Marketplace

This procedure describes how to activate Control-M after the Control-M Instance has been created under AWS Marketplace or AWS Marketplace EC2 Console.

Activating Control-M from AWS Marketplace:

1. Connect to the created Linux platform.
2. Follow the prompt to setup the required username/password.
3. Download and install the Control-M Client from the BMC Control-M website.

   NOTE: Ensure that the connection to Control-M/EM Web Server port at 18080 can be established.

   In order to connect to Control-M instance created from AWS Marketplace, note the following:

   • The ec2-user needs to be used to connect to the Control-M instance.
   • The created pem key file is also used for ec2-user authentication during connection.
   • The Control-M is installed under the user of control.
   • Each AWS instance has its internal (private) name and public DNS, Control-M listens on public DNS only.
   • Switch to controlm user from ecs-user

     By default, the controlm user has the full administrative permission to manage the installed Control-M.

   • View installed Control-M products using OneInstall installation type.
