Installing Control-M/Agent on Windows

This procedure describes how to install Control-M/Agent on Windows. This installation includes Application Integrator and Automation API CLI.

If a previous version of Control-M/Agent is detected, an upgrade is automatically performed and the parameters values from the previous version are used.

If you want to install multiple instances of Control-M/Agent on several computers using the same configuration, use the automatic installation, as described in this procedure.

Before You Begin

Begin

  1. Log in to the computer using a user ID that has Administrator permissions.

  2. Copy the installation files from the temporary directory that you created in Obtaining Control-M Installation Files, to the home directory.

  3. From a command prompt window, enter <source_path>\setup.exe.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • Interactive install: Continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.

    • Automatic install: Create a parameter file and then run the automatic install in a non-interactive mode, as follows:

    1. Continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.

    2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.

    3. Click Yes to quit the installation.

      A confirmation message appears.

    4. Click Yes.

      The automatic installation XML parameters file that is created (<filename>.xml) is relevant only for computers with the same agent instance name. Otherwise, a separate <filename>.xml file must be created for each computer, or modified manually for each computer.

    5. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all computers where you want to perform an automatic installation.

    6. Log in using a user ID that has Administrator permissions on the current computer.

    7. Ensure that the installation DVD is still in the DVD drive, and run the installation script, as follows:

      <source_path>\setup.exe -silent <xml_path>\<filename.xml>

      If you want to encrypt a password in the installation, run the following command:

      <source_path>\setup.exe -encrypt <password>

      The installation log can be found at the following location:
