Control-M for Astronomer

Astronomer is a workload automation service based on Apache Airflow that enables you to create, schedule, and manage your workflows.

Control-M for Astronomer enables you to do the following:

• Connect to any Astronomer environment from a single host with secure login, which eliminates the need for multiple authentications.

• Execute individual or template-based Astronomer workflows.

• Abort workflows and retrieve logs directly.

• Run multiple Astronomer jobs simultaneously per Agent.

• Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for Astronomer, including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.

• Integrate Astronomer workflows with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.

• Monitor the status, results, and output of Astronomer workflows.

• Attach an SLA job to the Astronomer jobs.
