Control-M Configuration Manager administration mode

Control-M Configuration Manager administration mode uses the logical name support feature in the Control-M/EM Configuration Agent and the Control‑M Configuration Server (see Control-M Administration for more information on Control-M/EM Configuration Agent and Control‑M Configuration Server.)

The logical name support feature is enabled by setting the $BMC_HOST_INSTALL environment variable prior to starting the installation.

To use Control‑M Configuration Manager administration mode

1. Ensure that the BMC_EM_PROFILE_NAME environment variable has the cluster virtual name as its value.

   This value will be used as the logical name for all Control-M/EM server components you want to manage as a single group using Control-M/EM Configuration Agent.

2. Using the Control-M Configuration Manager, define each of the Control-M/EM server components using the logical name assigned to BMC_EM_PROFILE_NAME.
3. For each Control-M/EM server component you want to manage as a group:

   Open the Control-M/EM Component window of the Control-M Configuration Manager

   Set the Host Name field in the Running on area to the value of the BMC_EM_PROFILE_NAME environment variable.

   For components that use CORBA, Set the Name field in the Component area to the value of the BMC_EM_PROFILE_NAME environment variable

Control-M/EM Configuration Agent will now manage only those Control-M/EM server components whose Host Name is set to the BMC_EM_PROFILE_NAME value.
