Component

Description

Control-M/Enterprise Manager (Control‑M/EM)

Provides a central point of access and control for Control‑M/Servers. It also enables you to view, monitor, manage, and intervene in batch flow processing across the entire enterprise.

Control-M/Server

Schedules jobs, manages job processing flows, and provides notification of job flow status.

Control‑M/Servers are the scheduling engines that also schedule jobs on other computers through Control-M agents and remote hosts.

Control-M/Agent and remote hosts

Runs and tracks jobs according to its Control‑M/Server. Though Control-M/Servers are responsible for job scheduling and processing, they do not have to limit their activity to the computer on which they reside. They can schedule jobs on other computers that come under their control.

You can have a dedicated Control‑M/Agent installed on each computer and is controlled by a Control‑M/Server, or use agentless computers, known as remote hosts. Jobs are assigned to specific host IDs that identify the Control‑M/Agents and remote hosts.

For information about Control-M/Agents that run other platforms, see Control-M/Agent and other platforms.

Application Plug-ins

Control-M Add-ons
