Installing Control-M on Windows

This procedure describes how to perform a full Windows Control-M installation, which includes all Control-M components, Control-M Automation API, a selection of standard plug-ins and add-ons, and the Control-M Conversion tool. You can automatically or interactively install Control-M with its default settings or custom define its database server and name, along with the component usernames, hostnames, and port settings.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have met the following requirements:

• Verify that you meet the system requirements, as described in Full Installation System Requirements.

• Verify that an external Java package is installed, as described in External Java Installation.

• Verify that no previous versions of Control-M are installed.

• Download the installation package, as described in Obtaining Control-M Installation Files.

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

Begin

1. Log in to the host with a user ID that has Administrator permissions.

2. From a command prompt window, run the following command:

   <source_path>\Setup.exe

3. 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. The automatic installation XML parameters file that is created (<Filename>.xml) is relevant only for hosts with the same Agent instance name. Otherwise, a separate <Filename>.xml file must be created for each host, or modified manually for each host.

     6. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all hosts where you want to perform an automatic installation. Log in using a user ID with Administrator permissions on the current host.

     7. Run the following installation script:

        <Source_Path>\Setup.exe -silent <xml_path>\<Filename.xml>

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

        <Source_Path>\Setup.exe -encrypt <Password>

        The installation logs can be found at the following location:

        <Installation_Folder>\BMCINSTALL\log\BMC_Control-M_Install_<Date-Time>.log

4. (Application Integrator only) Upgrade Application Integrator to the latest version by deploying the Application Pack to your Agents, as described in Application Pack Deployment.
