In Control-M, you have the option to install both Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server in one account for UNIX and Windows using the Full Install option or you can install Control-M/EM in one account and Control-M /Server in a different account. In addition, you can install each component on a separate computer in separate accounts. There are several advantages to install each component in a distributed configuration. These considerations are more relevant in a production environment then they are in a non-production environment. A distributed environment has benefits if you need to perform maintenance on a computer, OS kernel, or for backup/restore a PostgreSQL database. PostgreSQL in a Full install builds two databases on a single database server instance and when a backup or restore is performed, both Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server are impacted and must be down.
The Full install option is recommended in a testing environment or if you have limited resources and you need to install all Control-M components on one computer. Note all aspects of redundancy, availability, and the cost of ownership to meet those objectives.
NOTE: The user that is used to install the base version must be the same user to install a fix pack. Consider this limitation before installing the base version.
