Server to Agent Port Number

Defines the port number in the Control-M/Agent computer where data is received from the Control-M/Server computer.

Verify that this port is not used for any other purpose. This value must match the Server-to-Agent Port Number in Control-M/Server.

Valid values: Between 1024 and 65535 inclusive

Default: 7006

Agent to Server Port Number

Defines the port number in the Control-M/Server computer where data is received from the Control-M/Agent computer.

The value assigned to this parameter must correspond to the value assigned to the Server-to-Agent Port Number field in the configuration file on the corresponding Control-M/Agent computer.

Default: 7005

Primary Server

Defines the hostname of the computer where the current Control-M/Server submits Jobs to the Control-M/Agent

Authorized Servers

Defines a list of backup servers which can replace the primary server if it fails. The Control-M/Agent only accept requests from servers on this list.

NOTE: You cannot submit Jobs to the same Control-M/Agent if there is more than one active Control-M/Server. Another Control-M/Agent instance must be installed with unique ports to support this configuration or Job status updates corrupt.

EXAMPLE: 192.138.28.121|aristo.isr.bmc.com/mybksys1|192.138.28.123

Check Interval (Available Agent)

Defines the number of seconds between status checks for each Control-M/Agent that communicates with Control-M/Server.

If you decrease the default value, it might impact Control-M/Server performance.

Default: 7200 (2 hours)

Retry Interval (Unavailable Agent)

Defines the number of seconds between attempts to communicate with a Control-M/Agent computer whose status is Unavailable.

If you decrease the default value, it might impact Control-M/Server performance.

Default: 90

Unavailability Shout Urgency

Determines the urgency level of a message sent with high priority sent from a Control-M/Agent with an Unavailable status.

Urgent message are sent with a special indication so that the recipient of the message is aware of the urgency.

Communication Timeout

Determines the maximum number of seconds that Control-M/Server attempts to connect to Control-M/Agent before the Control-M/Agent is set to Unavailable.

If you decrease the default value, it might impact Control-M/Server performance.

Default: 120

Agent TCP/IP Timeout

Defines the timeout used by the Control-M/Agent when listening on the Server to agent port number before timing out and performing housekeeping tasks

Maximum Retries

Defines the number of times Control-M/Server attempts to connect to Control-M/Agent before the Control-M/Agent is set to Unavailable.

Logical Agent Name

Defines a logical or alias name for the Control-M/Agent.

NOTE: If you have more than one Control-M/Agent on the same host that connects to the same Control-M/Sever, you must use this parameter to uniquely identify each Control-M/Agent.

The value must be the same as the value in Control-M/Server computer.

The logical name is used when the Control-M/Agent initiates the communication to Control-M/Server with the output from Control-M/Agent utilities and in messages sent to Control-M/Server.

Listen to Network Interface

Determines which network interface the Control-M/Agent is listening on.

It can be set to a specific hostname or IP address so that the Control-M/Agent port is not opened in the other interfaces.

Secure Socket Layer

Determines whether SSL is used to encrypt the communication between Control-M/Server and the Control-M/Agent. For more information, see Introduction to SSL for Control-M.

Tag

Defines a logical name that is used to label specific Control-M/Agents into a group with a specific authorization level. You can apply a specific tag to a Control-M/Agent, as described in Agents Management, or you can define your own tag with the asterisk character if you have the correct permissions.
