Currently, in our project, we are using Control-M to schedule and automate the regular jobs. We have installed the Control-M agent on our IBM AIX server where applications are hosted. The jobs perform operations of copying daily user data from one server to another server. It simplifies application and data workflow orchestration on-premises or as a service.

Control-M's experience in Banking and Telcos
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
I work in a company that is a BMC Elite partner and we help other companies in the implementation, administration, support and mesh factory of the main companies in the Banking and Telecommunications of Chile. I have actively participated in more than 700 automation projects and I want to summarize here the common experiences of the operation and use of Control-M in that industry.
- Control-M is centralized and used transversally throughout the organization. Some cases have several Control-M/Server in production to serve the operation of different countries, however, the Control-M/EM component is usually only one for that environment.
- Different areas and IT management play different roles in the Control-M Jobs automation lifecycle.
- The use of Control-M is related to the massive processing of data across different applications and backend services running on different servers and operating systems that could be orchestrated in a complex way.
- File transfer jobs are common in banking.
- It is becoming more and more common to design REST API type Jobs in the industry.

Control-M currently has a small footprint, but with the move to v9 we are looking to fully leverage the automation capabilities as well as Self Service and WCM to make it available across the entire organization. This will address the needs for off hours work and free up IT staff time to complete other projects/tasks.

Control-M was introduced across our enterprise to eliminate manual execution of our batch job environment and create a central point of control. This enables us to coordinate activities enterprise-wide and eliminate many issues of data corruption due to timed job execution through crontab, Windows Scheduler, menu-driven job flow releases through menus created in OpenVMS. Product's internal schedules are now visible. Ad-hoc executions are monitored and managed effectively, through one central point of control, providing a complete overview of all activities.

A retired Schedulers review of Control-M (translation: no axe to grind)
My previous company uses Control-M to manage all of their batch processing on all platforms. They process 150,000 batch jobs daily and needed an automated process to handle them. The bulk of these jobs are MVS processed and the rest process on UNIX and Windows. A large number of these flows have processing than runs on multiple platforms.

Control-M - True enterprise scheduling
We use Control-M for enterprise workload automation across a number of platforms (z\OS, Windows, Linux, Unix). Application batches are integrated seamlessly. We also use a number of application plug-ins such as File Transfer, IBM Cognos, Java and Web Services. Control-M is integral to our ability to run a true 'lights out' 24x7 data centre whilst still providing 24x7 business availability and support.

BMC - control M automation software
Used in both mainframe and Unix environments for batch schedules/processing work loads.
Control-M is used across the organization for automated job scheduling and monitoring across processing platforms, with the majority of the users and processing taking place on IBM mainframes. We maintain a centralized operations staff to develop schedule definitions, monitor job submissions and ensure that batch processing is completed timely and accurately. Because of security oversight requirements, the centralized operations staff performs these tasks on behalf of all applications programmers and business analysts who are limited to browse access.
