Control-M Workload Change Manager Installation

The following procedures describe how to install Control-M Workload Change Manager on a Control-M/EM server on UNIX and Windows, which enables you to define Control-M Workload Change Manager system parameters, define rules for web application users, and create requests and job flows from the Control-M Workload Change Manager site:

Control-M Workload Change Manager is a Control-M/EM component, which utilizes Control-M/EM memory and CPU resources. Therefore, Control-M Workload Change Manager requires additional memory and CPU resources, depending on the number of concurrent Control-M Workload Change Manager users and the number of requests. In most cases after installation, Control-M Workload Change Manager requires the same amount of memory that is consumed by the current Control-M/EM GUI server.
