Control-M for Azure Synapse

The Azure Synapse Analytics service performs data integration and big data analytics. 

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

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