  • Set your preferred language to simplified or traditional Chinese in the Planning, Monitoring, and Configuration Domains.
  • Operate Control-M via your keyboard, in compliance with current accessibility standards.
  • You can now use the following Viewpoints types:
    • Public Viewpoints: Viewpoints that are created and managed in Control-M Client, are now available to Control-M Web users to view jobs. 
    • Private Viewpoints: Viewpoints that are created in Control-M Web and are only available to the user that created it.
  • You can now do the following with Viewpoints:

    • You can now control which hierarchical entities appear in a Viewpoint, such as Server, Folder, Application, Sub-application without changing the Viewpoint definition. Your changes are saved for your next login.

Control-M Unified View

You can now connect self-hosted Control-M/Servers and Control-M for z/OS to Control-M SaaS, as described in Control-M SaaS Unified View Migration.

Control-M MFT

The following is a list of enhancements that are now available in Control-M MFT:

  • You can now transfer files to and from Microsoft SharePoint Online.
  • Checksum validation for transfers is now available for FTP, SFTP, and Local storage in addition to the existing support for Local to S3 uploads.
  • Pre-execution and post-execution commands of the MFT Job are now executed by the Agent user, and not root, when the Agent is running as root.

Control-M MFT Enterprise

The following is a list of enhancements that are now available in Control-M MFT Enterprise: 

  • You can now authenticate internal users, external users, or both via any Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 identity provider and apply multifactor authentication and single sign-on (SSO), as described in Configuring IdP Authentication for Control-M MFT Enterprise Users.
  • You can now install and manage the MFT Enterprise Gateway on Windows.
  • External users can now change the display language to English, German, Spanish, or French in User Preferences.
  • You can now search for specific folders or files with the simple search tool in File Exchange and view when the file will be deleted.

Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server

Control-M/EM, Control-M/Server, Control-M/Agent, and all version-9.0.21.300 plug-ins now support Java 21 long-term support (LTS).

CyberArk Vault Integration

You can integrate Control-M with a CyberArk vault where you store and manage sensitive information (called secrets), such as passwords, access keys, or security keys for Control-M MFT or Application Integrator jobs. This integration enables Control-M/Agents to retrieve secrets from your vault only when they connect to your plug-in application servers and run jobs, so that sensitive information is not saved in Control-M components. To use a CyberArk vault, you must upgrade Control-M/EM to 9.0.21.300. For more information, see CyberArk Vault Integration.

Application Integrator

The following is a list of enhancements that are now available in Application Integrator:

  • Support for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and Latin-1 characters in Control-M has been expanded to include use of these characters in Control-M Application Integrator, in job definitions, job attributes, job output, job logs, and job testing.
  • XML and JSON responses in the system output and logs have been enhanced with improved formatting and structure.
  • Control-M Application Integrator now uses Java 21 LTS in asynchronous job execution and increases the number of jobs that can run simultaneously on Linux (REST API up to 1000 concurrent jobs; CLI up to 300 concurrent jobs).

Control-M Integrations

The following integrations have been released since version 9.0.21.200:

Automation API

Control-M Automation API now supports deployment of duplicate resource names in a job that contains a resource pool and a lock resource with the same name. This enhancement aligns Control-M Automation API with Control-M Web and Control-M Client, where duplicate resource names were already supported.
