Deploy Control-M and Micro Focus resources

The first two steps in integrating AWS Mainframe Modernization with Control-M are to deploy a Control-M Agent and then deploy a plug-in on the Agent. The third step is to deploy the job type in Control-M Application Integrator.

Deploy a Control-M Agent on an EC2 instance

When using a custom AWS Replatform with Micro Focus on Amazon EC2 runtime environment, the MFBSIFJCL utility is invoked. The utility operates on the host that was launched using the Micro Focus Enterprise Server offer from the AWS Marketplace. To run the MFBSIFJCL utility, you must also deploy a Control-M Agent on that host. For instructions, see the Control-M documentation.

Note

You can download required installation media from the BMC Electronic Product Download site.

Deploy the Micro Focus plug-in on the Control-M Agent

Plug-ins provide integration and support for the applications and services that Control-M orchestrates.

The plug-in deployment is an infrequent activity. If you already have an existing plug-in that you want to use, skip this step, and create a connection profile.

On Amazon EC2, the AWS Mainframe Modernization Replatform with Micro Focus service exposes the Micro Focus engine. To integrate AWS Mainframe Modernization, Control-M uses the Micro Focus plug-in. For more information, see the Control-M documentation.

You must deploy this plug-in to an Agent that is installed on a host where Micro Focus Enterprise Server is running.

Deploy an AWS Mainframe Modernization job type in Control-M Application Integrator

The job type deployment is usually a one-time activity. If you already have an existing job type that you want to use, skip this step and move on to the next step of creating a connection profile.

The example job type AIJOB.ctmai is supplied in the git repository. To deploy a job type, you must perform the following steps using Application Integrator:

  • Clone the aws-mainframe-modernization-controlm-integration GitHub repository and download the AIJOB.ctmai  file to a file system location that can be accessed by Application Integrator.

  • Log in to Application Integrator.

  • On the Home tab, select Import job type from file, and select the location of AIM2JOB.ctmai.

  • If you want to make any modifications to the supplied example, familiarize yourself with Application Integrator.

  • Deploy the job type by following the instructions in the Control-M documentation.
