Installing Control-M on Windows

This procedure describes how to install the Control-M suite with all Control-M components including Application Plug-ins, add-ons, and Control-M Conversion tool on Windows. You can install with the default settings, or choose the custom installation to select the database server, database names, usernames, hostnames, and port settings.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have met the following requirements:

• Verify that your operating system and database software is compatible with the current version of Control-M, as described in Control-M Full Installation System Requirements.

• Define the external Java location, as described in Setting the Java Environment Variable.

• Verify that the target computer is clean and does not have any previous Control-M version installed.

• If you are installing Control-M in a cluster environment, see Control-M Cluster Configuration.

Begin

1. Log in to the computer using a user ID that has Administrator permissions.

2. Copy the installation files from the temporary directory that you created in Obtaining Control-M installation files, to the home directory.

3. From a command prompt window, enter <source_path>\Setup.exe.

4. Do one of the following:

   • Interactive install: Select the Control-M 9.0.21- Full Installation option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.

   • Automatic install: Create a parameter file and then run the automatic install in a non-interactive mode, as follows:

     1. Select the Control-M 9.0.21- Full Installation option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.

     2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.

     3. Click Yes to quit the installation.

        A confirmation message appears.

     4. Click Yes.

     5. The automatic installation XML parameters file that is created (<filename>.xml) is relevant only for computers with the same agent instance name. Otherwise, a separate <filename>.xml file must be created for each computer, or modified manually for each computer.

     6. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all computers where you want to perform an automatic installation.Log in using a user ID that has Administrator permissions on the current computer.

     7. Ensure that the installation DVD is still in the DVD drive, and run the installation script, as follows:

        <source_path>\Setup.exe -silent <xml_path>\<filename.xml>

        If you want to encrypt a password in the installation, run the following command:

        <source_path>\Setup.exe -encrypt <password>

        The installation logs can be found at the following location:

        <installFolder>\BMCINSTALL\log\BMC_Control-M_Install_<date-time>.log

        If you use Application Integrator, you must upgrade it to the latest version by deploying the Application Pack to your Control-M/Agents, as described in Application Pack deployment.
