Setting up Control-M for Azure HDInsight

This procedure describes how to deploy the Azure HDInsight plug-in, create a connection profile, and define an Azure HDInsight 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 HDInsight plug-in from the Control-M Integrations page, or go directly to the Control-M for Azure HDInsight download page.

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