Component management

After you have installed Control-M, the initial configuration automatically defines and starts up the required components. However, you might want to define additional components for one or more of the following reasons:

• Load balancing
• Organizational structure
• Geographic distances

In most configurations, two or more Control-M/Servers are required with multiple Control-M/Agents to handle the load balancing of jobs. For more information about Control-M configuration, see Control-M architecture.

You can install more than one Control-M/Agent on the same computer. With multiple agents, more than one Control-M/Server can request jobs on the same computer. In this type of configuration, each Control-M/Agent is associates with a different Control-M/Server.

The following procedures describe how to define, edit, and delete Control-M/EM, Control-M/Server, Control-M/Agent and remote host components:

• Defining a Control-M/EM component
• Defining a Control-M/Server component
• Renaming a Control-M/Server component
• Pausing Control-M/Server
• Defining a Control-M/Agent component
• Defining a remote host
• Defining a Network Load Balancer Router
• Editing a component
• Deleting a component

To change the status of a component, see Component status.

To set the synchronization mode for a Control-M/Server component, see Configuring Control-M/Server synchronization.
