Installing Control-M on UNIX

This procedure describes how to install the Control-M suite with all Control-M components including plug-ins, add-ons, and the Control-M Conversion tool on UNIX. You can install with the default settings, or choose the custom installation to select the database server, database names, usernames, hostnames, and port settings.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have met the following requirements:

• Verify that your operating system and database software is compatible with the current version of Control-M, as described in Control-M Full Installation System Requirements.

• Verify that the target host is clean and does not have any previous Control-M version installed.

• Successful completion of Control-M Pre-installation Procedures.

• Verify that you have met Java requirements, as described in Control-M External Java Installation.

• If you are installing Control-M in a cluster environment, see Control-M Cluster Configuration.

Begin

1. Copy the installation files from the temporary directory to the home directory.

2. Set your DISPLAY environment variable, as described in Setting Environment Variables in UNIX.

3. Navigate to the home directory and run the following command:

   <source_path>/setup.sh

4. Do one of the following:

   • Interactive Installation: Select the Control-M 9.0.02- Full Installation option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.

   • Automatic Installation: Create a parameter file and then run the automatic install in a non-interactive mode, as follows:

     1. Select the Control-M 9.0.02- Full Installation option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.

     2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.

     3. Click Yes to quit the installation.

        A confirmation message appears.

     4. Click Yes.

     5. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all hosts where you want to perform an automatic installation.

     6. Run the following command:

        <source_path>/setup.sh -silent <xml_path>/<filename.xml>

        If you want to encrypt a password in the installation, run the following command:

        <source_path>/setup.sh -encrypt <password>

        The installation logs can be found at the following location:

        <$HOME>/BMCINSTALL/log/BMC_Control-M_Install_<date-time>.log

     • By default, Control-M/EM and Control-M clients are configured to work with HTTP. BMC recommends that reconfigure this to the more secure HTTPS protocol, as described in Zone 1 SSL Configuration.

     • If you use Application Integrator, you must upgrade it to the latest version by deploying the Application Pack to your Agents, as described in Application Pack Deployment.
