hi

i am new at control-m and have a question if anyone can help!!
What is the effect of installing a Control-M Agent on a server that has intermittent network problems? Can Control-M server be able to keep up with jobs that are being run on a server that constantly drops the network connection? Will it be able to update the jobs progress status

You shouldn't have problem with that, when job's ordered, Agent on that machine will execute jobs. But keep in mind that in case of network problems, Control-M Server can't able to determine job status in real time, but when you establish connection again, Agent will send job status to Control-M Server, so you will have delay in this case.

If you can, implement node group functionality.

hi

thanx for the info. but The network disconnects about 10 times per day on average. Each disconnect can last about 3 to four minutes. Furthermore, the link is very slow. If you hit newline, it takes about 20 seconds to get back to a prompt.

Code: Select all

The network disconnects about 10 times per day on average. Each disconnect can last about 3 to four minutes. Furthermore, the link is very slow.

The network is very important in the open architecture, so I suggest you to have a better network, more stable. If always the agent become unreacheable many times a day, better is first do something for the network.

If the agent is so instable, the scheduling flow time became variable not for the complexity of elaborations but for the network: very BAD.
