By now, we have the full potential to become a real Control-M expert. The reason we say "potential" is because real-world experience is rather critical for mastering any skill.
In this chapter, we again focused on the administration side of Control-M but in more depth. We started with looking at command-line utilities that can be used to affect the active environment. More importantly, we reviewed different security options provided by Control-M, as well as a demonstration of Control-M mirroring and failover. Once we had secured the environment, we took one step further by perfecting the Control-M environment.
As people always say, "once things on hand are perfectly done, a new door will open up in front". We have come a long way from planning and building the Control-M environment, to building all different kinds of job flows, to securing and perfecting the environment. We have done an excellent job and it is now time to progress into the golden age — workload automation.
