Control-M Agent requirements

The Control-M Agent requirements are described in the following list:

• A separate dedicated agent must be used with this utility. The agent cannot be shared with a Control-M/Server.
• The agent must be version 8 or higher and must use protocol version level 10.
• The agent must be configured in one of the following ways:
  • UNIX - add in CONFIG.dat - AGENT_TO_SERVER_CONNECT N
  • WINDOWS - in the registry, under the agent CONFIG key, add a new string value with the name AGENT_TO_SERVER_CONNECT and value N

Note: The parameter does not exit by default, and therefore must be added as a new, additional parameter.

In addition, the following changes in the agent configuration must be performed:

1. Run ctmagcfg - the Agent Configuration Utility.
2. Select 3: Primary Control-M/Server Host.
3. Define the mainframe hostname.
4. Select option 7: Advanced parameters.
5. Ensure that Protocol Version is [10]. If not, change it.
6. Select r: Return to the main menu.
7. Save.
8. Quit the Agent Configuration Utility.
