Defining a remote host

This procedure describes how to define a remote host, which enables you to run jobs on a computer without having to install a Control-M/Agent.

To define a remote host:

1. From the Home tab, in the General group, select New and then click Remote Host.

   The Step 1: Set Remote host and Agent list window appears.

2. From the Control-M/Server Name drop-down list, select the Control-M/Server where the remote host will reside.
3. In the Remote Host Name field, type the name of the remote host.
4. Select the Control-M/Agent that you want to use to access the remote host.
5. Click Next.

   The Step 2: Set connection parameters window appears.

6. Select one of the following encryption methods:
   • SSH: Encrypts access to the remote host with SSH and determines the SSH server port, encryption algorithm, and compression.
   • WMI: Encrypts access to the remote host with WMI and defines the output directory (Windows only). For more information, see WMI requirements.
7. To test the connection to remote host, click Test. Otherwise, click Next.

   The Step 3: Define an owner dialog box appears.

8. Do one of the following:
   • If you have a defined Run as users for this host, select I already have owners defined for this host.
   • If you want to define a new Run as user for this host, select I want to define a new owner for this host, and in the 'Run as' User Properties area, type the required values for each field and click Test.
9. Click Next.

   The Step 4: Summary window appears.

10. Review the remote host connection parameters and then click Finish.
