The Agent installation installs Control-M/Agent on a host. Additional Agents enable you to run jobs on multiple hosts, which enhances performance and creates greater load balancing control.
If you are installing an Agent on UNIX, complete the pre-installation procedures, as described in Agent Pre-installation Procedures for UNIX and the post-installation procedures, as described in Agent Post-installation Procedures.
Control-M/Agent requires an external Java library. To ensure that Java libraries remain updated, Java library deliveries are decoupled from Control-M/Agent and not part of the installation. For more information, see Control-M External Java Installation.
Before you install Control-M/Agent, verify that your operating system and processor are supported and that your minimum requirements for memory and diskspace are met. Verify that your system meets the following requirements:
You can install multiple Agents (including Control-M/Agent and Helix Control-M/Agent together) on the same host, but the following requirements must be met:
-
(UNIX only) Each Agent must be installed on a separate account.
-
Each Agent must have a unique name.
-
Each Agent or Helix Agent must be version 9.0.21.100 or higher.
To install a Helix Agent on Windows or UNIX, see Installing a Helix Agent.
To install a self-hosted Agent on a self-hosted Control-M/Server, see one of the following procedures:
-
If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, verify that the proxy server settings are defined, as described in Proxy Server Configuration.

Control-M/Agent and Plug-ins Java Support
From version 9.0.21.000, Java library deliveries are decoupled from Control-M and not part of the installation. You must ensure that Java is available on the Control-M component host machines.
-
Control-M Application pack, Control-M for Airflow, Control-M for SAP version 9.0.21.000 cannot be installed on Control-M/Agent 9.0.21.100 or higher with Java 17 or higher.
-
You can use Java 21.0.0 with Control-M Application pack, Control-M for Airflow, Control-M for SAP version 9.0.21.200 only if Control-M/Agent is 9.0.21.300 or higher.
-
You can use Java 17.0.1 or 21.0.0 with Control-M for OEBS and Control-M for PeopleSoft version 9.0.21.000 only if Control-M/Agent is 9.0.21.300 or higher.
The following table lists the supported versions of Java for Control-M/Agent and Control-M plug-ins.
