Control-M/Agent 

2022-10 (October)

For a list of supported Java vendors, see Compatibility with External Java Vendors.

ProductDescription

Control-M/Agent

The Agent Installation pane does not contain information and guidance for the installation of an Agent on a Debian operating system.

Workaround: Follow the instructions provided for the Ubuntu operating system.

Control-M/Agent

Control-M Automation API

Agent upgrade using the provision agent::update API command fails for Agents earlier than 9.0.20.280 and Agents that were upgraded to Agent 9.0.20.280 from an earlier version (see KA 000402673).

To prevent this issue from occurring, use the ctmcfg utility to update the SAASCONF.dat configuration file, as follows:

  • Through a command prompt, run the relevant command on each machine where an impacted Agent is installed:
    • On Linux:

      ctmcfg -TABLE SAASCONF -ACTION UPDATE -PARAMETER SAAS_ENV_TYPE -VALUE prod

    • On Windows:

      ctmcfg -AGENT <instance_name> -TABLE SAASCONF -ACTION UPDATE -PARAMETER SAAS_ENV_TYPE -VALUE prod
