Helix Control-M Migration

The Helix Control-M migration process enables you to migrate some or all of your self-hosted A Control-M component that you install and maintain. Control-M environment to Helix Control-M. Before you migrate, a BMC presales team must help you run a qualification scan to determine the migration type that best suits your organization. Helix Control-M migrations eliminate the need to maintain Control-M/EM, migrated Control-M/Servers, and their associated databases.

If you are unable to upgrade to Control-M/EM 9.0.21.300, you can migrate your Control-M/Servers to Helix Control-M, as described in Helix Control-M Full Migration.
You cannot migrate Control-M for z/OS environments to Helix Control-M, but you can connect them to Helix Control-M in Unified View, as described in Helix Control-M Unified View Migration.
You cannot migrate Control-M/Servers with Agents installed on unsupported operating systems or with unsupported plug-ins.However, you can connect them to Helix Control-M in Unified View, as described in Helix Control-M Unified View Migration.
If your Control-M/Servers or Control-M for z/OS environments execute more than 100,000 jobs daily, you must distribute these jobs on two or more Control-M/Servers or Control-M for z/OS environments.
You cannot revert a Helix Control-M migration after you have migrated.

There are three Helix Control-M migration types, as follows:

Helix Control-M Full Migration: Migrates your Control-M/EM data and all Control-M/Servers to Helix Control-M. This eliminates the need to install and maintain Control-M/EM, Control-M/Servers, and their associated databases.

This option is dependent on the results of the qualification scans, as described in Helix Control-M Qualification.

The following diagram shows the logical architecture of a typical Full Migration environment:
Helix Control-M Unified View Migration: Migrates your Control-M/EM data and connects your self-hosted Control-M/Servers and Control-M for z/OS environments to Helix Control-M in Unified View. This eliminates the need to maintain your Control-M/EM and its database, and enables you to access your self-hosted Control-M/Servers from Helix Control-M Unified View A mode of Helix Control-M that enables you to manage self-hosted and Helix Control-M/Servers.. You can run and manage your self-hosted Control-M/Server and Helix Control-M/Server workflows via the same interface in Helix Control-M Unified View.

This option is dependent on the results of the qualification scans, as described in Helix Control-M Qualification.

The following diagram shows the logical architecture of a typical Helix Control-M Unified View Migration environment:
Helix Control-M Custom Migration: Migrates your Control-M/EM data and enables you to perform an enhanced full migration or a customized migration. The customized migration enables you to determine—based on your organizational needs and the results of the qualification scans—which Control-M/Servers migrate and become Helix Control-M/Servers, and which Control-M/Servers remain self-hosted, but connect to Helix Control-M Unified View.

This migration eliminates the need to maintain Control-M/EM and some or all Control-M/Servers and their associated databases.
