Control-M Workload Change Manager

Control-M Workload Change Manager is a Control-M add-on, which enables you to do the following:

• In Control-M Workload Change Manager web application, application developers/analysts or the web users, can request changes to business job flows by creating and submit them as requests to a Control-M scheduler or check them in to the Control-M Database. These change requests are related to your Control-M definitions in Control-M.
• In Control-M, a Control-M Administrator can create standards to assist schedulers and web users in defining folders/jobs according to your organization's standards.

A Control-M Administrator creates site standards, as described in Site standards management, and then assigns the standards to folders, as described in Assigning a Site standard to a folder/folders. This ensures that when web users, and schedulers define jobs, the job definitions comply with your organization's standards.

Using these standards, web users can create business job flows using a web interface. The web user can either submit the job flow as a request, or check it in to be part of the Control-M Database.

If the web user submits the job flow as a request, the Control-M scheduler receives these requests through Control-M. The requests appear in the Planning-Home page along with his other Workspaces and workflow. For more information on the request workspace, see Request Workspace. The Control-M scheduler works together with the web user, easily communicating through Notes, to review and approve business workflow requests. After the request is approved, the Control-M scheduler checks-in the request to be part of the Control-M database.
