Defining a remote host

This procedure describes how to define a remote host, which enables you to run jobs on a computer without having to install a Control-M/Agent.

To define a remote host:

1. From the Components menu, select New > Remote Host.

   The Step 1: Set Remote host and Agent list window appears.

2. From the Control-M/Server Name drop-down list, select the Control-M/Server where the remote host will reside.
3. In the Remote Host Name field, type the name of the remote host.
4. Select the Control-M/Agent that you want to use to access the remote host.
5. Click Next.

   The Step 2: Set connection parameters window appears.

6. Select one of the following encryption methods:
   • SSH: Encrypts access to the remote host with SSH and determines the SSH server port, encryption algorithm, and compression.
   • WMI: Encrypts access to the remote host with WMI and defines the output directory (Windows only).

   NOTE: To schedule jobs on a Windows remote host using the WMI protocol, you must run the job on a Control-M/Agent on Windows.

7. To test the connection to remote host, click Test. Otherwise, click Next.

   The Step 3: Define an owner dialog box appears.

8. Do one of the following:
   • If you have a defined owner for this host, select I already have owners defined for this host.
   • If you want to define a new owner for this host, select I want to define a new owner for this host, and in the Owner Properties area, type the required values for each field and click Test.
9. Click Next.

   The Step 4: Summary window appears.

10. Review the remote host connection parameters and then click Finish.
