ctmipc

The ctmipc utility sends a message to Control-M/Server processes that instructs them to perform a specific action.

The ctmipc utility can only be used to refresh recently updated parameters, as an alternative to restarting Control-M/Server.

Refreshing Parameters with the ctmipc Utility

This procedure describes how to run the ctmipc utility, which enables you to send a message to Control-M/Server processes that instructs the processes to perform a specific action.
