The Agent installation installs Control-M/Agent
If you are installing an Agent on UNIX, complete the pre-install procedures, as described in Agent Pre-installation Procedures for UNIX and the post install procedures, as described in Agent Post-installation Procedures.
Control-M/Agent requires an external Java library. To ensure that Java libraries remain updated, Java library deliveries are decoupled from Control-M/Agent and not part of the installation. For more information, see Control-M External Java Installation.
Before you install an Agent, verify that your operating system and processor are supported and that your minimum requirements for memory and diskspace are met. Depending on your operating system, verify that your system meets one of the following requirements:
You can install multiple Agents (including Agent and Helix Agent together) on the same host, but the following requirements must be met:
-
(UNIX only) Each Agent must be installed on a separate account.
-
Each Agent must have a unique name.
-
Each Agent or Helix Agent must be version 9.0.21.100 or higher.
To install a self-hosted Agent on a self-hosted Control-M/Server, see one of the following procedures:
-
If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, ensure that the proxy server settings are defined, as described in Proxy Server Configuration.
-
If you upgrade the Agent, Application Integrator that was part of Application Pack is upgraded as well. If you roll back the Agent, then Application Integrator cannot work. To re-enable Application Integrator, you must uninstall and then reinstall Application Pack.
-
If Application Pack is installed, verify that all Application Integrator jobs have completed before you upgrade the Agent.
-
If you have Control-M for Databases connection profiles, you cannot upgrade Application Pack to version 9.0.21.100 or higher until you have upgraded Control-M for Databases to version 9.0.21.100 or higher.
-
If you are using Agent 9.0.21.100 or higher with a Java version that is higher than 11 with Application Pack lower than version 9.0.21, you might encounter issues in Application Pack plug-ins. To ensure that Application Pack functions properly, BMC recommends to set the Agent to use Java version 11 or lower, or upgrade Application Pack to version 9.0.21 or higher.
-
Security troubleshooting and best practices are described in Control-M/Agent Security Updates for UNIX and Windows.

Control-M/Agent and Plug-ins Java Support
From version 9.0.21.000, Java library deliveries are decoupled from Control-M and not part of the installation. You must ensure that Java is available on the Control-M component host machines.
-
Control-M Application pack, Control-M for Airflow, Control-M for SAP version 9.0.21.000 cannot be installed on Control-M/Agent 9.0.21.100 or higher with Java 17 or higher.
-
You can use Java 21.0.0 with Control-M Application pack, Control-M for Airflow, Control-M for SAP version 9.0.21.200 only if Control-M/Agent is 9.0.21.300 or higher.
-
You can use Java 17.0.1 or 21.0.0 with Control-M for OEBS and Control-M for PeopleSoft version 9.0.21.000 only if Control-M/Agent is 9.0.21.300 or higher.
