Configuring the automatic startup/shutdown procedure for Control-M/EM (RedHat and Oracle Linux 7 or later)

This procedure describes how to configure the automatic startup procedure for Control-M/EM on RedHat 7 or later and Oracle Linux 7 or later.

NOTE: If there is a High Availability installation, you need to start the non-active environment, after the active environment starts.

To configure the automatic startup procedure for Control-M/EM:

1. Log in as root.
2. Navigate to the following to location:

   /etc/systemd/system/

3. Create a new unit service file with 644 permissions.

   The extension must be .service.

   EXAMPLE: EM.service

4. Open the file and type the following:

   [Unit]

   Description=Control-M/EM

   After=systemd-user-sessions.service multi-user.target network.target

   [Service]

   User=<unit_service>

   ExecStart=/bin/sudo -u <user_account> /bin/csh -c "start_server; start_config_agent"

   Type=forking

   RemainAfterExit=yes

   ExecStop=

   • No High Availability: /bin/sudo -u <user_account> /bin/csh -c “[EM_home_dir]/bin/em ctl -mcs -C Config_Agent -M [hostname] -cmd shutdown"
   • No High Availability with a dedicated PostgreSQL: /bin/sudo -u <user_account> /bin/csh -c “[EM_home_dir]/bin/em ctl -mcs -C Config_Agent -M [hostname] -cmd shutdown; [EM_home_dir]/bin/stop_server"
   • High Availability: : /bin/sudo -u <user_account> /bin/csh -c “[EM_home_dir]/bin/em ctl -mcs -C Config_Agent -M [stand-by environment host name] -cmd shutdown; sleep 30; [EM_home_dir]/bin/em ctl -mcs -C Config_Agent -M [active environment host name] -cmd shutdown"
   • High Availability with a dedicated PosgreSQL: /bin/sudo -u <user_account> /bin/csh -c “[EM_home_dir]/bin/em ctl -mcs -C Config_Agent –M [stand-by environment host name] -cmd shutdown; sleep 30; [EM_home_dir]/bin/em ctl -mcs -C Config_Agent -M [active environment host name] -cmd shutdown; [EM_home_dir]/bin/stop_server"

   [Install]

   WantedBy=multi-user.target

5. Save the file.
6. From a command line, run the following commands:
   • systemctl daemon-reload
   • systemctl enable [unit service file].service
7. Restart the Control-M/EM computer.
