Installing Control-M Web Services and Messaging API on UNIX

This procedure describes how to install Control-M Web Services and Messaging API on UNIX interactively or automatically. If you want to install multiple instances of Control-M Web Services and Messaging API on several computers using the same configuration, use the automatic installation, as described in this procedure.

NOTE: The default installation is interactive and uses a GUI display. XServer must be running and configured using the DISPLAY environment variable. If you do not have XServer available, BMC recommends that you continue with the console installation or perform an automatic installation.
