4. How do you integrate applications in your workflows?
Use OS, WS, DB jobs, …
Is the process synchronous? Do we need more than one job?
Can we show additional details when monitoring the job? And abort the backend process?
Do we meet security and compliance requirements?
Is job definition easy? Does it require typing many parameters?
Homegrown Applications

9. Demo: My Application
my_app -u <usr> -p <pwd> -d <timeout> -f <proc_desc_file> -o <log_dir> [-t]
User and Password
Timeout (secs)
Process Description File ("full path to file"), structured as <home>\<dept>\<desc_file>.dsc
Output directory for execution logs (“full path”)
Trace (optional)
my_app -u david -p dav123 -d 10 -f "C:\desc_files\HR\SAMPLE.dsc" -o "C:\CTM\logs" -t
chk_proc_status <process_id>
Returns status info for a process
<process_id> can be found after running “my_app” or from the application console

11. Immediate benefits for the user
Easier maintenance general parameters stored in connection profiles, less input parameters needed for each job
Avoid typos with selection boxes and parameter format validation
Improved security usr/pwd encrypted, no longer shown in script or log
Synchronous execution job waits until the required process has really finished
Detailed status obtained directly from the third-party application (avoids additional monitoring actions via external console or CLI)

12. More possibilities… Invoke Web Services (SOAP & REST)
E.g. integrating in the same job authentication, capturing the “session id” and using it to invoke a service, monitor when it has finished and closing the session
Combine WS and CLI steps in the same job
Define an action to execute when aborting the job from Control-M
Use conditional steps
run depending on previous step status (e.g. run only if previous step is ok or if has failed)
run according to rerun mode or job execution status (e.g. run only if job is relaunched, only if failed)
run depending on a parameter or environment variable value (e.g. run only if var X = value)
