Introduction to Control-M Application Integrator

The Control-M Application Integrator is a web based application that creates custom designed job types that are deployed to the Control-M environment. You can then define and monitor job types in the Planning and Monitoring domains in Control-M client and Control-M Web.

Before you start creating job types do the following:

• Install the Application Integrator, as described in Installation.
• (Optional) Configure the Application Integrator as described in Application Integrator configuration.

The Application Integrator development process requires you to do the following:

• Create a job type through one of the methods described in Job type management.
• Define job execution steps, such as a command line, web service or REST API, as described in Job type definition. You can also design job properties and Connection Profiles, and view Runtime parameters, as described in Job type designer.
• Deploy the job type to Control-M Agent and to any Control-M client, as described in Job type deployment.
• Configure new job types into Control-M, as described in Control-M configuration.

After running a job in Control-M, you can view the detailed log of job execution in the Monitoring domain, as described in Execution log. To view a typical job type workflow, see Job type workflow.

The Application Integrator combines new job types with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment, which enables you to control and operate the job types within Control-M and allows you to do the following:

• Define and monitor the application jobs in Control-M.
• Integrate these jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment, as described in Using Control-M.
• Introduce all Control-M capabilities, including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, quantitative and control resources, and variables, as described in Using Control-M.

For best practices and examples, see Control-M Application Hub.
