Control-M/Server component parameters

The following table describes parameters that enable you to define a Control-M/Server component, as described in Defining a Control-M/Server component.

Field

Description

Name

Defines the name of the Control-M/Server.

The name can be a maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters long. Symbols, such as (%,*,&,$,(),<>,"",'' and blank spaces are not valid.

Platform

Determines whether the Control-M/Server is installed on a distributed or z/OS operating system.

If your operating system is UNIX or Windows select Distributed.

ID

Defines a unique 3-character code (such as 999 or NYC) that Control-M/EM uses to identify each Control-M/Server

Version

Determines the version number of the Control-M/Server

Description

Provides a description of the Control-M/Server

Contact

Defines the name of the contact person who is responsible for Control-M/Server maintenance

EM Statistics

Defines the job attribute which is used as the key for statistics collection according to Jobname or Memname.

The settings on the Control-M/Server computer must match these settings.

Synchronization mode

Determines when, if, and how to synchronize data between Control-M/Server and Control-M/EM, as follows:

  • No Synchronization: No synchronization between Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server takes place. To synchronize manually, you can download the Control-M/Server data to Control-M/EM, upload the Control-M/EM data to Control-M/Servers, or Create a regular calendar.
  • Update Control-M/Server definition during Check-in: Synchronizes only Control-M/EM Workspace and Calendar changes with Control-M/Server during Check-in. Other Control-M/EM definition changes are not synchronized with Control-M/Server. Control-M/Server changes are not synchronized with Control-M/EM. For more information on checking in, see Workspaces or Creating a regular calendar.
  • Update Control-M/Server only: Synchronizes Control-M/EM changes with Control-M/Server. Control-M/Server changes are not synchronized with Control-M/EM.
  • Update Control-M/Server and Control-M/EM: Synchronizes all Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server changes with each other, for full synchronization.

Protocol

Determines which protocol Control-M/Server uses to communicate with Control-M/EM

Host

Defines the name of Control-M/Server host

Control-M/EM Port

Defines the TCP/IP port number that Control-M/Server uses to connect to Control-M/EM

Gateway

Defines a new Gateway that is used to connect to Control-M/EM, as described in Defining a Control-M/EM component.

Time Zone

Determines the time zone where the Control-M/Server is located.

NOTE: Although time zone definitions in the northern hemisphere are set to summer Daylight Saving Time, definitions in the southern hemisphere are set to winter. In Sydney, Australia, winter time (GMT+10:00) is from March 25 at 03:00 until October 1 at 02:00. All other dates are GMT+11:00 (summer time). The time label for Sydney is defined as follows:

SYD (GMT+11:00) FROM 25.03 03:00 TO 01.10. 02:00 (GMT+10:00)

NOTE: This parameter is only enabled if the Control-M/Server is set to Un-Managed.

Start Day

Determines the first day of the business week.

The settings on the Control-M/Server computer must match these settings.

NOTE: This parameter is only enabled if the Control-M/Server is set to Un-Managed.

New Day Time

Determines the time of day that the New Day procedure is performed on the Control-M/Server.

The settings on the Control-M/Server computer must match these settings.

NOTE: This parameter is only enabled if the Control-M/Server is set to Un-Managed.

Daylight Savings Time

Determines the following:

  • Determines whether the Control-M/Server will schedule jobs based on Daylight Savings Time and when it starts and ends
  • Determine how to show forecasts during times when Daylight Savings Time (DST) is active and inactive
  • Determines whether or not to consider which ODAT is used during the time when the New Day occurs and after the time that DST occurs.

    NOTE: This parameter is only enabled if the Control-M/Server is set to Un-Managed.

Control-M/Tape

Determines whether Control-M/Tape is installed on this computer with Control-M/Server (z/OS only)

Control-M/Restart

Determines whether Control-Restart is installed on this computer with Control-M/Server (z/OS only)

Control-M/Analyzer

Determines whether Control-Analyzer is installed on this computer with Control-M/Server (z/OS only)

Upper Case

Determines whether to restrict user input to upper case letters only in job attributes.

If you select this option, you cannot change it without fixing all the job attributes.

Enable

Determines whether the Control-M/Server is enabled
