This page provides information for creating a configuration file for the provisioning of a Control-M/Server. This configuration file is a payload JSON file that contains the details of a Control-M/Server that you want to provision.
The exact group of properties that you include in the configuration file depends on the following considerations:
|
Consideration |
Options |
|---|---|
|
OS and database |
|
|
Type of installation |
|
The following code samples show the available objects and properties that you can include within such a file for each type of installation. The rest of this page provides descriptions of all properties.
