Verifying operating system levels and patches

This procedure describes how to verify the operating system level and patches with Control-M requirements.

The check_req utility runs automatically in the background on every installation of Control-M full, Control-M/EM, Control-M/Server, and Control-M/Agent. The Health Check utility utility collects the logs after it runs.

The checkReqRun.sh file is located in the CheckReq directory on the installation DVD.

To verify operating system levels and patches:

1. Log in as a Control-M full installation, Control-M/EM, or Control-M/Server user.
2. Type the following command:

   checkReqRun.sh -product=<PRODUCT_NAME> -memory_model=<MEMORY_MODEL> -database=<DATABASE>

   Where:

   • <PRODUCT_NAME> is CTMS, EM, ONE, AGENT, or ARCHIVE
   • <MEMORY_MODEL> is SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, or NONE
   • <DATABASE>is ORACLE or PostgreSQL
3. Complete the instructions as necessary.

   If the operating system and patches meet Control-M requirements, you are advised that the product can be installed. Otherwise, a list of missing requirements appears.

   NOTE: If the script alerts you to a missing patch, check with your system administrator or database administrator to see if the patch is included in one of the bundled packages that are installed on your computer or database.
