Installing Control-M/Agent on Windows
This procedure describes how to install Control-M/Agent on a Windows host. This installation includes Application Integrator and Automation API CLI. If a previous version of Control-M/Agent is detected, the Agent is automatically upgraded and the previous version parameter values are saved.
To install multiple instances of Control-M/Agent on several hosts with the same configuration, use the automatic installation, as described in this procedure.
You can install up to three Agents on a single host.
Before You Begin
-
Verify that your operating system is compatible with the current version of Control-M/Agent, as described in Agent System Requirements for Windows.
-
Verify that you meet the Java requirements, as described in Control-M External Java Installation.
-
If you plan to use Automation API CLI, verify that Python version 3.8.4 or higher is installed.
Begin
-
Log in to the host with user ID that has Administrator permissions.
-
Copy the installation files from the temporary directory that you created in to the home directory.
-
From a command prompt, run the following command:
<Source_Path>\setup.exe
-
Do one of the following:
-
Interactive Installation: Continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.
-
Automatic Installation: Create a parameter file and then run the automatic install in a non-interactive mode, as follows:
-
Continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.
-
Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.
-
Click Yes to quit the installation.
A confirmation message appears.
-
Click Yes.
The automatic installation XML parameters file that is created (<Filename>.xml) is relevant only for hosts with the same Agent instance name. Otherwise, a separate <Filename>.xml file must be created for each host, or modified manually for each host.
-
Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all hosts where you want to perform an automatic installation.
-
Log in using a user ID that has Administrator permissions on the current host.
-
Run the following installation script:
<Source_Path>\setup.exe -silent <xml_path>\<Filename.xml>
If you want to encrypt a password in the installation, run the following command:
<Source_Path>\setup.exe -encrypt <Password>
The installation log can be found at the following location:
<Installation_Folder>\BMCINSTALL\log\BMC_Control-M_AGENT_Install<date-time>.log
The backup file is available in the following location:
<Installation_Directory>\BMCINSTALL\uninstall\DRKAI.SaaS\backup_area
By default, Control-M/Agent is configured to work with TCP. To secure your environment, BMC recommends to change your configuration to SSL, as described in Zone 2 and 3 SSL Configuration.
