Control-M – Desclos Consulting

Experience with Control-M

Control-M is a workload automation solution that enables you to automate the scheduling and processing of your business workflows across various platforms and applications from a single point of control. Every organization depends upon certain processes running regularly. Salaries need to be computed, approved and distributed; databases need to be stopped, backed up, and restarted. Control-M helps you to control these processes, called jobs, in an automatic and organized way.

A job is an execution unit, such as a script or command, that is executed at the operating system level, or part of an external application, such as Hadoop. Each job needs specific run information for it to be executed, such as scheduling criteria, job dependencies, and post processing actions.
