Configuring the policy file

When Control‑M/Server and Control‑M/EM share the same database server (or Oracle instance), the following actions might be required:

• If Control‑M/Server is installed with a BMC-supplied PostgreSQL database server, run the startdb script in the Control‑M/Server account but do not run the start_server script in the Control‑M/EM account.
• If Control‑M/EM is installed with a BMC-supplied PostgreSQL database server, run the start_server script in the Control‑M/EM account but do not run the startdb script in the Control‑M/Server account.

The BMC-supplied PostgreSQL database server can be shut down or started using the following scripts. If the cluster vendor has a certified database policy file, BMC Software recommends that you use the file.

To start the Control‑M database, use the following commands:

# Control-M/EM

EM_ACC=em800

EM_DIR=/export1/em800

su - $EM_USER -c $EM_DIR/bin/start_server

# Control-M/Server

CTM_ACC=ctm800

CTM_DIR=/export2/ctm800

su - $CTM_USER -c $CTM_DIR/ctm_server/scripts/startdb

To stop the Control‑M database, use the following commands:

# Control-M/EM

EM_ACC=em800

DBA_PASS=<emPass> # The Control-M/EM database administrator password

EM_DIR=/export1/em800

su - $EM_USER -c $EM_DIR/ctm_em/bin/stop_server << PASSEOF

$DBA_PASS

PASSEOF

exit

# Control-M/Server

CTM_USER=ctm800

CTM_DIR=/home/ctm800

CTM_PSWD=manager

# Stop CONTROL-M/Server PG Database

su - $CTM_USER -c "$CTM_DIR/ctm_server/scripts/shutdb -p$CTM_PSWD"
