Why statistics are not correctly shown in the Control-M/EM GUI?


"ctmjsa" is used to collect statistics of all Control-M jobs.

Generally calculation of statistics can be done with Jobname or Memname

This is determined by the Operational Parameter Statistics Mode.

When it is set to Memname the statistics won't be shown right.


Change Statistics Mode to Jobname, recycle Control-M, run ctmjsa again, and now view Statistics of any job from Control-M EM GUI. You can see the difference.

How can you say if the agent for a particular job is available?



While there is a continuous connection between CONTROL-M EM and Control-M/EM Server, the communication between CONTROL-M/Server and CONTROL-M/Agent is not constant.

CONTROL-M/Server is doing the following:

1. It sends a TRACK_ALL message for each agent that has running jobs every 'Polling Interval' (the default is 15 minutes).

2. There is no indication that an agent becomes unavailable unless there was a request to that agent.

While the agent waits for its time window it does not check if the agent is available. This will be checked only when the job will be submitted.

3. You can check the Agent status using Control-M Configuration Manager.

What can I do if my agents become unavailable sometimes?

Solution: Run ctm_menu:

(5) Parameter Customization -> (4) Parameter Customization for Specific Agent Platform:

Communication Timeout (default 120)

Maximum Retries (default 12)

Increase the timeout parameters for the agent platforms. The same can be achieved using Control-M Configuration Manager. You can open Agent properties and change the parameters accordingly.

How do I check communication between Server and Agent?

From the Agent run:
   ag_diag_comm

From the Server run:
   ctm_diag_comm <Agent host name>

Compare the results. Specially check the following:

  1. Server-to-Agent Port Number is the same on both outputs
  2. Agent -to-Server Port Number is the same on both outputs
  3. Server-Agent Comm. Protocol is the same on both outputs
  4. Unix ping to Agent Platform, ctm_ping to agent, and Unix Ping to Server Platform all Succeeded
  5. Service "<agent service>" is Active
  6. Server Host Name, in ag_diag_comm output, is correct.

How to KILL a Job using PostProc Tab



During our day to day activities sometimes we may come across a scenario to Kill a job during run time. The most commonly scenario is to kill a job when it is exceeding its normal time limit. We can achieve this using PostProc tab without any manual intervention.

To perform this you MUST have access to Control-M Server.
  1. You have to connect to Control-M Server using Telnet.
  2. From the "ctmsys" menu, goto "Shout Destination Tables" and define a shout destination with type "P" (process), Address Type "A" (agent), Logical Destination "Kill_Job" and Physical Destination"$HOME/ctm/exe_<architecture>/killjob.sh".
  3. Go to your CONTROL-M/Server home directory, and define a script under ctm/exe_<architecture>/. The script name will be "killjob.sh", which contains the following lines:

    #!/bin/csh
    ctmkilljob -ORDERID $2 &


    Note: the ampersand (&) at the end of the command. This must be present for this solution to work.
  4. Job definition
    • Goto the "PostProc" tab and define a shout WHEN LATETIME or EXECTIME
    • in the Destination put "Kill_Job
    • in the Message Box put "%%ORDERID" (the parameters for the "killjob.sh" script).

How to get a job to email the SYSOUT



Update the STEPS panel of the failing job with the following statements:

      On Stmt=*            Code=COMPSTAT!0 (or NOTOK or other specific return codes)
      DO Set-Var          %%\G_ORDERID                %%ORDERID
      DO Set-Var          %%\G_JOBNAME               %%JOBNAME
      DO Set-Var          %%\G_MAILADDRESS      youremail@domain.com
      Do Force-Job      Table=YourTable                 Jname=EMAILSYSOUT

Note: The “Do Set-Var” is setting global variables to be passed to another job. Global variables are defined using a backslash.
The global variables are used in the other job without the backslash.


Force job definition: Job name EMAILSYSOUT

On the command line:
ctmpsm -LISTSYSOUT 000%%G_ORDERID |mailx -s "Job %%G_JOBNAME failed. See sysout attached!" %%G_MAILADDRESS


Note: The Node-id on the Execute tab must be the home server for Control-M.

Control-M EM GUI



The CONTROL-M/Enterprise Manager application provides a single, centralized point of access and control of your batch processing environment. CONTROL-M/Enterprise Manager lets you to automate the scheduling and processing of your production jobs. Its main GUIs are CONTROL-M/Desktop and the CONTROL-M/Enterprise Manager window (simply called CONTROL-M/EM).

Logging into Control-M/EM:


Click on the Icon which is located on your Desktop.


Go to Start Menu\Programs\CONTROL-M Enterprise Manager 6.3.01\ Default\ CONTROL-M Enterprise Manager GUI





ViewPoint Manager

Defining ViewPoints

A ViewPoint builds a view of the active environment by retrieving and displaying data according to the criteria defined in the ViewPoint’s collection, hierarchy, and global filter definitions.

■ Collections determine the jobs to be loaded into memory.
■ Global filters determine which jobs to display.
■ Hierarchies determine the hierarchical structure in which to display jobs.

CONTROL-M/EM is supplied with a number of predefined ViewPoints, but you can create or modify definitions.

To define a ViewPoint
  1. In CONTROL-M/Enterprise Manager, choose Tools => ViewPoint Manager.


  2. In the ViewPoint Manager dialog box, do one of the following:
    1. To create a new ViewPoint definition, select the ViewPoints node and click New. Then, in the ViewPoint dialog box that opens, enter a name for the ViewPoint.

    2. To edit an existing ViewPoint definition, select the definition under the ViewPoints node and click Edit.

  3. In the ViewPoint Properties dialog box, do the following:
    1. Enter a description for the ViewPoint (optional).
    2. Select a collection for the ViewPoint.
    3. Select a global filter for the ViewPoint.
    4. Select a Hierarchy definition for the ViewPoint.
    5. After selecting the hierarchy, select the Initial Level of the Hierarchy to display when the ViewPoint is opened.
    6. By default, the highest hierarchy level nodes are displayed in when the ViewPoint is opened.
    7. Click OK.
