Control-M for Azure Functions

Azure Functions is an Azure cloud service for serverless application development .

Control-M for Azure Functions enables you to do the following:

• Connect to any Azure Functions workspace from a single computer with secure login, which eliminates the need to provide authentication.
• Integrate Azure Functions jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
• Monitor the Azure Functions workspace status and view the results in the Monitoring domain.
• Attach an SLA job to your entire Azure Functions service.
• Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Azure Functions, including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, quantitative and control resources, and variables.
• Run 50 Azure Functions jobs simultaneously per Control-M/Agent.

Control-M for Azure Functions Compatibility

The following table lists the prerequisites that are required to use the Azure Functions plug-in, each with its minimum required version.

To download the required installation files for each prerequisite, see Obtaining Control-M Installation Files.

Setting up Control-M for Azure Functions

This procedure describes how to deploy the Azure Functions plug-in, create a connection profile, and define an Azure Functions job in Control-M Web and Automation API.

NOTE: Integration plug-ins released by BMC require an Application Integrator installation at your site. However, these plug-ins are not editable and you cannot import them into Application Integrator. To deploy these integrations to your Control-M environment, you import them directly into Control-M using Control-M Automation API.

Before you Begin

Verify that Automation API is installed, as described in Automation API Installation.

Begin

1. Create a temporary directory to save the downloaded files.

2. Click http://www.bmc.com/available/epd and follow the instructions on the EPD site to download the Azure Functions plug-in, or go directly to the Control-M for Azure Functions download page.

3. Deploy the Azure Functions job via Automation API, as described in deploy jobtype.
4. Create an Azure Functions connection profile in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
   • Web: Creating a Centralized Connection Profile with Azure Functions Connection Profile Parameters
   • Automation API:  ConnectionProfile:AzureFunctions
5. Define an Azure Functions job in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
   • Web: Create a Job and then define specific Azure Functions parameters in Azure Functions Job parameters.
   • Automation API: Job:AzureFunctions
