Install the new environment

Review the following sources to prepare your new environment so that you can work in parallel with the old environment while you prepare your installation. Note that migration of Control-M data is supported only when the source environment and the target environment both have the same version of Control-M (both major and minor version level, v.v.rr.mxx).

• To plan the computers on which to install and check compatibility requirements, see the Control-M Release Notes.
• To find the Control-M installation files, see the Control-M Release Notes.
• Install the Control-M solution in the new environment, as described in the Control-M Installation Guide.

  NOTE:

• If you are migrating Control-M/EM with installed add-on components such as BIM, Forecast, Self Service, and Workload Archiving in the source environment, you must install these add-ons on the new environment before executing the migration import procedure.
• Compatibility Mode from the source environment is kept the same (whether ON or OFF) on the target environment.

Migration

Select the relevant workflow and schedule the migration for your site:

• Control-M/EM Migration: Enables you to migrate Control-M/EM.
• Control-M/Server Migration: Enables you to migrate Control-M/Server after you have already migrated Control-M/EM.

Agents can be migrated after the Control-M/Server is migrated to minimize application changes.

NOTE: Along with the migration of Control-M/EM, plan for the migration of Control-M Workload Archiving data. Migration of archived job data might take a long time and might necessitate adjustments to retention parameters. For more information, see Migrating Control-M Workload Archiving.

Test the migration process

Export both the (old) EM and Control-M/Server data and import this into the new environments for testing before the Migration cutover date. The export and import process can be repeated as necessary.

Troubleshooting

For more information about troubleshooting your migration, see Troubleshooting Control-M Migration or contact Customer Support http://www.bmc.com/support.

Verify new environment

Verify that the migrated data exists in the new environment.
