Running Control-M/Agent utilities as other users on UNIX

This procedure describes how to run Control-M/Agent utilities as other users on UNIX.

To run the Control-M/Agent utilities as other users on UNIX:

1. Add one of the following environment variables:
   • Add to .cshrc

     set path = ( ${path} <agent Home>/ctm/scripts <agent Home>/ctm/exe )

     setenv CONTROLM "<agent Home>/ctm"

     if ( ${?LD_LIBRARY_PATH} ) then

     setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:<agent Home>/ctm/exe

     else

     setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "<agent Home>/ctm/exe"

     endif

   • Add to .profile

     CONTROLM=<agent Home>/ctm

     export CONTROLM

     PATH=$PATH:<agent Home>/ctm/exe:<agent Home>/ctm/scripts

     export PATH

     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<agent Home>/ctm/exe

     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

     NOTE: <agent Home> stands for the Control‑M/Agent account home directory.

2. Give group <controlm> read permission to all folders, subfolders, and files under the following path:

   <control-m directory>ctm_agent/ctm/data/SSL

3. Make sure that the group <controlm> has read and execution permission to the files in <control-m directory>ctm_agent/ctm/exe

   NOTE: All users that require access to Control-M utilities must belong to the same primary group <controlm> as the Control-M/Agent.

NOTE: Use this procedure for all Agent utilities other than Agent configuration utilities, as BMC recommends that only the Control-M/Agent user be enabled to change the Agent configuration.
