Installing Control-M components and fix packs is not the whole story of administrating Control-M. Once everything has been built and pushed into production, then, as Control-M administrators, it is our responsibility to maintain the environment. Having said that, Control-M is not a high-maintenance software application, If everything was set up properly at the beginning, all we now need to perform are just very general administration tasks, such as stop/start components, define new GUI users, and configuring Control-M to fit our needs and so on.
Control-M provided user-friendly GUI features and command-line utilities for us to perform the everyday administration tasks. In this section, we will review these common tasks and introduce the related Control-M built-in administration features and tools.
