Control-M/Enterprise Manager Installation

Control-M/EM installation includes Control-M/EM server and database and Control-M/EM client components (Windows only). In addition, Control-M SLA Management, Control-M/Forecast, and Control-M/Self Service are included with this installation.

Control-M SLA Management requires additional resources to run. BMC recommends to run Control-M SLA Management on a Control-M/EM Distributed instance.

If you have additional load balancing and geo-redundancy requirements, you can install multiple instances of Control-M/EM with client and server components.

Before you install Control-M/EM, verify the requirements, as described in Control-M/EM System Requirements.

If you are installing Control-M/EM on UNIX, complete the pre-install procedures, as described in Control-M/EM Pre-Installation Procedures on UNIX.

You can install Control-M/EM with one of the following options:

Default: Installs Control-M/EM with a dedicated PostgreSQL database server, default database name, default username and default ports.
Custom: Enables you to select a database server, database name, username and ports.
Distributed: Installs an additional Control-M/EM without a database server. This Control-M/EM is connected to a database server on another Control-M/EM. By default, there are no components defined in a Control-M/EM distributed, except for the Control-M/EM Configuration Agent.

The following procedures describe how to install Control-M/EM on UNIX and Windows:

Installing Control-M/EM on UNIX

This procedure describes how to install Control-M/EM on UNIX. You can install with the default settings, or choose the custom installation to select the database server, database names, usernames, hostnames, and port settings. If you want to install multiple instances of Control-M/EM on several computers using the same configuration, use the automatic installation, as described in this procedure.

You need to install the Control-M client on a Windows computer.
The default installation is interactive and uses a GUI display. XServer must be running and configured using the DISPLAY environment variable. If you do not have XServer available, BMC recommends that you continue with the console installation or perform an automatic installation.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have met the following requirements:

Verify that your operating system and database software is compatible with the current version of Control-M/EM, as described in Control-M/EM UNIX System Requirements
Successful completion of Control-M Pre-installation Procedures.
Define the external Java location, as described in Setting the Java Environment Variable.
If you are installing on cluster environment, see Control-M/EM UNIX Cluster Configuration.
If you are running the Kafka service, a bash shell must be installed before you install Control-M/EM.

Begin

Copy the installation files from the temporary directory that you created in Obtaining Control-M installation files, to the home directory.
Set your DISPLAY environment variable, as described in Setting Environment Variables in UNIX.
From your home directory, type the following command:

<source_path>/setup.sh
Do one of the following:
- Interactive install: Select the Control-M/Enterprise Manager option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete, as described in Installing Control-M/EM on UNIX (video).
- Automatic install: Create a parameter file and then run the automatic install in a non-interactive mode, as follows:
1. Select the Control-M/Enterprise Manager option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.
2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.
3. Click Yes to quit the installation.
  
  A confirmation message appears.
4. Click Yes.
5. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all computers where you want to perform an automatic installation.
6. To run the installation script, type the following command:
  
  <source_path>/setup.sh -silent /app/CONTROLM-TMX/em-install.xml
  
  If you want to encrypt a password in the installation, run the following command:
  
  <source_path>/Setup_files/components/em/setup.sh -encrypt <password>
  
  The installation log can be found at the following location:
  
  <$HOME>/BMCINSTALL/log/BMC_Control-M_Enterprise_Manager_<date-time>.log
  
  If you are working in a clustered environment, you must run the following:
  
  -file “<EM_HOME>bin\ CTMUpadteCluster_V21.ps1” install EM
Continue with Control-M Post-installation Procedures on UNIX.

By default, Control-M/EM and Control-M clients are configured to work with HTTP. To secure your environment, BMC recommends to change your configuration to HTTPS, as described in Zone 1 SSL Configuration.
