Control-M vs. Redwood Reporting : Report2Web

Scenarios where it's well suited are where you're running jobs across platforms. We have processes on our mainframe that have to complete our daily batch processing and the controlling handles the scheduling of the daily batch processing. Then once that's done, it moves into executing stuff on servers like SQL loads and transferring files to load into SQL and then also running reporting on the SQL servers when the data's been loaded and is available. It makes for a really smooth transition of the overnight processing the bank has to go through. That's our main function that we use it for currently. It handles it very well.

The tool is very powerful for obtaining and scheduling reports; however, I believe that if the cost were lower, more companies could obtain it

• Workload change manager is one of our favorite features of this product. It enforces standards, which is a huge benefit. Users don't just make crazy changes that cause issues with other jobs. It does great promotions from one environment to another, transforming all the data to match the next environment.

• [It] has [a] default report.
• [It] has a section where you can create reports by making queries in SQL.
• It has a Dashboard window where you can schedule reports in real time of the executions of the jobs or chains.

• Certificate on all levels: Each agent uses different keystrokes for different functions, such as AI, web service calls, and MFT.
• It's really hard to manage these keystrokes.
• Trust stores, in case control-m, act as servers; it should be simple to implement certificates from a corporate CA.
• Some functions must be performed in the fat client, while others can only be performed through the web interface. This should be streamlined as soon as possible.

• It has a positive impact for the different managements since they can obtain their reports on a daily basis and in case any job fails on a recurring basis they can make decisions.

Control-M integrates with DevOps toolchains to automate the deployment of applications and updates. It supports Jobs-as-Code, allowing developers to define workflows programmatically, which accelerates development cycles and improves deployment consistency1.These use cases highlight how Control-M can streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and support critical business functions across various domains.

The solution is very intuitive and easy to learn and use. New staff understand the primary use of the solution in a couple of days, mainly in areas of operation that work with Dominio Monitoring. At the administration level, the installation is simple through menus. The configuration and customization are also simple and minimal. The parameters have an understandable description. Agent installation and upgrades are done in a couple of steps and are ready.

We've had issues with a server crashing. The latest issue has the option for high availability which should help with that.

He contactado varias veces con el soporte de BMC y ha sido bastante bueno, siempre han sabido darme una solución a lo que he pedido. Esta vez quiero hacer alguna nueva pregunta, pero no se si se me podrá contestar, ya que es algo que tal vez fuera de otro rango y no pertenezca a ellos.

As HA we have depend on the external DB, why don't we have HA feasibility with embedded DB. As with external DB, there are performance issues and fine tuning the DB. As if its embedded DB, Control-M it self take care of the functionality.

Redwood RunMyJobs seemed impressive as well since it was also cross-platform, flexible, and versatile. However, we went with Control-M because it was less expensive and we were already using it on our mainframe environment. The distributed version of Control-M was much more user-friendly due to the GUI instead of the command-line interface used on the mainframe.

from my experince i would suggest to customers Control-M first

Yes, Control-M is more relaible and scalable but needs to improve more stability especially the communciation between the agents, CTM server and EM

• Control-M has improved service delivery times, reliability and quality of batch processing.
• It has simplified the management of the operation and the use of the alert system has made it possible to act in a coordinated and efficient manner to solve problems.
• The implementation of policies has made it possible to make greater use of Control-M and thus reduce development costs that are generated unnecessarily when the potential of the system is not considered.

• The Redwood system by itself is a very good tool that can pay off the investment in a very short time.
• It has a positive impact for the different managements since they can obtain their reports on a daily basis and in case any job fails on a recurring basis they can make decisions.
