Component status

You can set Control-M components to one of the following desired states:

• Up: Enables the component to communicate with other components
• Down: Disables communication from other components
• Ignore: The Configuration Agent does not attempt to start up or shut down components
• Recycle: The Configuration Agent restarts a component to solve server issues

The Configuration Agent attempts to start up or shut down components, depending on the desired state and defined intervals. The CMS and Naming Service components can only be recycled from the CCM.

NOTE: In a high availability environment, the secondary host only starts up components that have the desired state set to Up. If the desired state is set to Down, Ignore, or Recycle, those components remain the same state as the primary.

The following procedures describe how to start up, shut down, ignore, and recycle Control-M components:

• Starting up a component
• Shutting down a component
• Ignoring a component
• Recycling a component

To disable a Control-M/Server or Control-M/Agent component, see Disabling a component.

NOTE: You can also manually shutdown and startup infrastructure components using the following utilities:

• ctm_menu utility (The Control-M Manager menu), as described in ctm_menu.
• The shut down and start up utilities, as described in Communication, start up, and troubleshooting.

To change the status of a Control-M/Server, see Changing the status of Control-M/Server.
