Control-M for GCP BigQuery

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) BigQuery is a cloud-computing platform that enables you to process, analyze, and store your data.

Control-M for GCP BigQuery enables you to do the following:

  • Connect to any GCP BigQuery endpoint from a single computer with secure login, which eliminates the need to provide authentication.
  • Integrate GCP BigQuery jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
  • Execute any of the following GCP BigQuery job operations:
    • Execute one or more SQL statements that are supported by GCP BigQuery.
    • Create a copy of an existing table.
    • Load source data into an existing table.
    • Export data from an existing table into Google Cloud Storage.
    • Execute a stored procedure, table function, or previously defined function.
  • Monitor the status, results, and output of GCP BigQuery jobs in the Monitoring domain.
  • Attach an SLA job to your GCP BigQuery jobs.
  • Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for GCP BigQuery including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.
  • Run 50 GCP BigQuery jobs simultaneously per Agent.

Setting up Control-M for GCP BigQuery

This procedure describes how to deploy the GCP BigQuery plug-in, create a connection profile, and define a GCP BigQuery 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. Download the GCP BigQuery plug-in from the Control-M for GCP BigQuery download page in the EPD site.
  3. Install the GCP BigQuery plug-in via one of the following methods:
    • Versions 9.0.21 or Higher: Use the Provision service of Automation API, as follows:
      1. As an administrator on the Control-M/EM Server, store the downloaded zip file in the following location.
        Within several minutes, the zip file is available in all Control-M interfaces associated with the Control-M/EM.
        • Linux: $HOME/ctm_em/AUTO_DEPLOY
        • Windows: <EM_HOME>\AUTO_DEPLOY
      2. As an application user on the Agent machine, run the provision image command, as follows:
        • Linux: ctm provision image GBQ _plugin.Linux
        • Windows: ctm provision image GBQ _plugin.Windows
    • Versions 9.0.21 or Higher: Use the Deploy service of Automation API, as described in deploy jobtype.
  4. Create a GCP BigQuery connection profile in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
  5. Define a GCP BigQuery job in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:


Note

To remove this plug-in from an Agent, follow the instructions in Removing a Plug-in. The plug-in ID is GBQ102022 .
