Control-M for Mainframe

What do you like best?

Control-M is a workload automation solution that provides unmatched application

workflow automation, lowering operating costs and increasing application

deployment speed. It delivers enhanced business value with high availability, enhanced

analytics, and faster application deployment through automated job promotion from

development to test to production for optimal bi-modal IT innovation.

It Offers-

Run Time Analytics: Control-M features advanced out-of-the box insight into all jobs across your enterprise significantly

improving run time estimation with Batch Impact Manager

analytics. And jobs no longer have to be defined as a part of

a Batch Impact Manager service

Automated Application Workflow Promotion: Using

Workload Change Manager, you can now automate application

workflow promotion between test and production

environments to accelerate application change and

deployment cycle times.

Usage alerts: Keep an eye on your task usage with Usage

Alerts. You can define task usage alert thresholds across all

of your Control-M environments and automatically receive an

email alert when thresholds are reached.

What do you dislike?

Cyclic jobs. Dependencies have issues if cyclic jobs fail and we rerun. Failed cyclic jobs do not show up in red color.

Old jobs which did not run. Control-M should change the color of yesterday's ordered jobs vs. today's jobs.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Scheduling the daily/monthly/weekly batch jobs using Control M.
