Transferring to the failover Control-M/Server

To tansfer to the failover Control-M/Server:

1. On the host computer, shut down the primary Configuration Agent and Control-M/Server by typing the following commands:
   • shut_ca
   • shut_ctm
2. In the Control-M/Server, type the ctm_menu command.

   The Control-M Main Menu appears.

3. In the Control-M Main Menu, type the number for Database Mirroring.

   The Database Mirroring Menu appears.

4. In the Database Mirroring Menu, type the number for Start Failover.
5. On the host computer, start the failover (secondary) Configuration Agent and Control-M/Server by typing the following commands:
   • start_ctm
   • start_ca

   All processing is performed by the failover Control-M/Server. You should now fix the problem on the primary Control-M/Server.
