Adding Hubs and Gateways

This procedure describes how to add additional Hubs and Gateways to your Control-M MFT Enterprise environment. This ensures that file transfers between external and internal users are successful even if one Hub or Gateway is down.

BMC recommends to set up at least three Hubs and two Gateways.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have completed all the setup procedures, as described in Setting Up the Control-M MFT Enterprise Environment.

Begin

  1. From the Environment tab, do one or more of the following:

    • To add a Hub, do the following:

      1. Click Add Hub.

      1. From the Add Agent drop-down list, select one of the available Agents to serve as a Hub, and then click Save.

      • All Agents must be installed on the same platform (Windows or Linux) and defined in the same host group.

      • After a new Hub is added to the environment, its connection profiles, PGP, and MVS templates are overwritten with the existing host data. BMC recommends that you add a new MFT host to the environment.

    • To add a Gateway, do the following:

      1. Click Add Gateway.

      1. Type the hostname and the port where the Gateway is installed, and then click Add.

  2. Repeat these steps to add additional Hubs and Gateways.
