Database operation and maintenance

A Control-M/Server database contains the job processing definitions (organized by tables). In addition to the Definitions file, the Control-M/Server database also maintains Active Jobs, a Resources table and a Conditions table.

A Control-M/EM database enables you to control your entire batch production enterprise. The Definition file of the Control-M/EM database contains a copy of all job processing definitions from all of your Control-M/Server databases. This database also includes the Active Jobs Database.

You can back up and restore your data from a Control-M/EM or Control-M/Server database, as described in Database backup and restore.

You can perform periodic maintenance procedures on a Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server database, as described in Database maintenance and cleanup.

To maintain Control-M/EM databases:

• Use the interactive Database Maintenance menu, which you access from the Root menu.
• Run the util utility from the command line .
• To maintain Control-M/Server databases, use the Database Maintenance menu that you access from the Control-M Main Menu.
