Control-M MFT Deployment Package Installation
The following procedures describe how to install the Control-M MFT Deployment Package on a Control-M/EM Server on UNIX and Windows:
The installation copies the MFT packages repository for each OS to EM_HOME/CM_Deploy. The packages are used to deploy MFT to multiple Control-M/Agents, as described in Control-M MFT Deployment. The MFT plug-ins package is located in the EM_HOME/Client_Updates/Plugins/AFT directory. The package is used to deploy MFT to any Control-M client after a user has logged in to the specific Control-M/EM server with MFT.
If your Control-M/EM machine is in High Availability mode, you must install the Control-M MFT Deployment Package on both your Control-M/EM primary and Control-M/EM secondary machines.
