Control-M Report job definition

If you want to define a Control-M Reports job in Control-M client, you need to do the following:

• Download and install Control-M Automation API
• Define a Report generation command in the CLI
• Use the Report generation command by defining an O/S job in Control-M client.

  NOTE: You can also create a Control-M Report job type by using Control-M Application Integrator. You can use examples that have been created in the Control-M Application Hub and deploy the job type to Control-M client. For more information, see Importing a job from BMC Communities.

For more information, see Control-M Reports job definition. To view a detailed video about Control-M Report job definition, see Control-M Reports Job Definition Video.

If you have defined a Control-M Report job type or an OS jobs that executes EMReportCli.exe, you need to manually update the following in Control-M client version 9.0.18 and above:

• Control-M Report job type: Find and replace these job types with an OS job type adding the Control-M Automation API command that you have defined.
• OS Job type with the EMReportCli.exe command: Find the OS job type with the EMReportCli.exe command and replace the command execution with the Control-M Automation API command that you have defined.

EXAMPLE: An OS job uses the following command:

emreportcli -pf "pass.txt" -s serverName -template "Daily Task Count" -output_file_type PDF -output_file_path "C:/Temp/report.pdf"

This job must be changed by defining the following command:

ctm reporting report::get Alerts_Sample pdf -o C:/Temp/Alerts.pdf
