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:

• Execute SQL statements, stored procedures or functions, and table functions; and copy, load, and export data from tables in Google Cloud Storage.
• Manage GCP BigQuery credentials in a secure connection profile.
• Connect to any GCP BigQuery endpoint.
• Integrate GCP BigQuery jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
• 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 install the GCP BigQuery plug-in, create a connection profile, and define a GCP BigQuery job in Helix Control-M and Automation API.

Before You Begin

• Verify that Automation API is installed, as described in Setting up the API.
• Verify that Agent version 9.0.21.080 or later is installed.

Begin

1. On the Agent host, set the Java environment variable by running one of the following commands through a command line:
   • Linux:
     • Bourne Shell/Bash: export BMC_INST_JAVA_HOME=<java_11_directory>
     • csh/tcsh: setenv BMC_INST_JAVA_HOME <java_11_directory>
   • Windows: set BMC_INST_JAVA_HOME="<java_11_directory>"
2. Run one of the following API commands:
   • For a fresh installation, use the provision image command:
     • Linux: ctm provision image GBQ_plugin.Linux
     • Windows: ctm provision image GBQ_plugin.Windows
   • For an upgrade, use the following command:
     ctm provision agent::update
3. Create a GCP BigQuery connection profile in Helix Control-M or Automation API, as follows:
   • Helix Control-M: Creating a Centralized Connection Profile with GCP BigQuery Connection Profile Parameters
   • Automation API: ConnectionProfile:GCP BigQuery
4. Define a GCP BigQuery job in Helix Control-M or Automation API, as follows:
   • Helix Control-M: Creating a Job with GCP BigQuery Job parameters
   • Automation API: Job:GCP BigQuery
