Control-M/Server

At the heart of Control-M processing is Control-M/Server, which is the scheduling engine that schedules jobs, manages job processing flows, performs load balancing, and handles requests from Control‑M/EM. Each Control-M/Server is resident on a particular computer and is specific to its operating system. The following lists the Control-M Server types:

• Control-M/Server: Defines a distributed system component of Control‑M that maintains the Control‑M/Server database (including Active Jobs), schedules jobs, performs load balancing, sends job-handling requests to agent platforms and handles requests from Control-M/EM.

  One or more hosts can be controlled by a single Control‑M/Server. In older implementations, a Control‑M/Server can consist of a single computer. In a server/agent implementation of Control‑M, Control‑M/Server consists of a server platform and all the agents, and agentless platforms that it handles.

• Control-M for z/OS: Defines a Mainframe system component that uses the Control-M client to define and handle job definitions and requests.
