Control-M consists of multiple components. You can install Control-M with a single installation, or you can install Control-M components individually. BMC recommends that you install Control-M with the following workflow:
Control-M full installation: Enables you to install the Control-M package with all Control-M components including Application Plug-ins, and add-ons, (see Control-M installation terminology) on UNIX and Windows via an interactive or automatic installation. You can install with the default settings, or choose the custom installation to select the database server, database names, usernames, hostnames, and port settings.
Control-M/Agent installation: Enables you to install additional Control-M/Agents on different computers throughout your organization, which enables you to run jobs on multiple computers. This enhances performance and creates greater load balancing control.
Control-M client installation: Enables you to install additional Control-M clients on different computers throughout your organization, which enable multiple users in your organization to access Control-M.
Control-M additional installations: Enables you to install multiple instances of Control-M/Enterprise Manager (Control-M/EM), Control-M/Server, and individual Application Plug-ins (see Control-M Application Plug-ins). You can also install a secondary instance of Control-M full installation, Control-M/EM, and Control-M/Server for High Availability (see High availability installation).
