Control-M for IBM DataStage

IBM DataStage enables you to construct data handling jobs that automate both ETL (extract, transform and load) and ELT (extract, load and transform) processes. 

Control-M for IBM DataStage enables you to do the following:

  • Integrate IBM DataStage jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
  • Connect to any supported IBM DataStage server from a single Control-M for IBM DataStage installation.
  • Connect to any supported database from a single computer with secure login, which eliminates the need to provide authentication.
  • Attach an SLA job to your IBM DataStage jobs.
  • Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for IBM DataStage including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.

Setting Up Control-M for IBM DataStage

This procedure describes how to install the IBM DataStage plug-in, create a connection profile, and define an IBM DataStage job in Helix Control-M and Automation API.

Warning

Note

Integration plug-ins released by BMC require an Application Integrator installation. However, these plug-ins are not editable, and you cannot import them into Application Integrator. To deploy these integrations to your Control-M environment, import them directly into Control-M using Control-M 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 datastage_linux_plugin.Linux
      • Windows: ctm provision image datastage_windows_plugin.Windows
    • For an upgrade, use the following command:
      ctm provision agent::update
  3. Create a IBM DataStage connection profile in Helix Control-M or Automation API, as follows:
  4. Define a IBM DataStage job in Helix Control-M or Automation API, as follows:
