Control-M for GCP Composer

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Composer is a managed workflow orchestration service built on Apache Airflow that enables you to automate workflow tasks.

Control-M for GCP Composer enables you to do the following:

Execute GCP Composer jobs that run specified versions of predefined GCP Composer functions.
Manage GCP Composer credentials in a secure connection profile.
Connect to any GCP Composer endpoint.
Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for GCP Composer, including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.
Integrate GCP Composer jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
Monitor the status, results, and output of GCP Composer jobs.
Attach an SLA job to the GCP Composer jobs.

Setting up Control-M for GCP Composer

This procedure describes how to deploy the GCP Composer plug-in, create a connection profile, and define a GCP Composer job in Control-M Web and Automation API.

Integration plug-ins released by BMC require an Application Integrator installation. However, these plug-ins are not editable and you cannot import them into Application Integrator. To deploy these integrations to your Control-M environment, import them directly into Control-M with Control-M Automation API.

Before You Begin

Verify that Automation API is installed, as described in Automation API Installation.

Begin

Create a temporary directory to save the downloaded files.
Download the GCP Composer plug-in from the Control-M for GCP Composer download page in the EPD site.
Install the GCP Composer plug-in with the Automation API Provision service:
1. Log in to the Control-M/EM Server machine as an Administrator and store the downloaded zip file in the one of the following locations:
  - Linux: $HOME/ctm_em/AUTO_DEPLOY
  - Windows: <EM_HOME>\AUTO_DEPLOY
2. Log in to the Control-M/Agent machine and run the provision image command, as follows:
  - Linux: ctm provision image GCP_Composer_plugin.Linux
  - Windows: ctm provision image GCP_Composer_plugin.Windows
Create a GCP Composer connection profile in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
- Web: Create a Centralized Connection Profile with GCP Composer Connection Profile Parameters
- Automation API: Connection Profile:GCP Composer
Define a GCP Composer job in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
- Web: Create a Job with GCP Composer Job parameters
- Automation API: Job:GCP Composer

To remove this plug-in from an Agent, see Removing a Plug-in. The plug-in ID is GCC052024.
