Setting up Control-M for AWS EC2

This procedure describes how to deploy the AWS EC2 plug-in, create a connection profile, and define an AWS EC2 job in Control-M Web and Automation API.

Before You Begin

Verify that Automation API is installed, as described in Automation API Installation.

Begin

1. Create a temporary directory to save the downloaded files.
2.  Download the AWS EC2 plug-in from the Control-M for AWS EC2 download page in the EPD site.
3. Install the AWS EC2 plug-in via one of the following methods:
   • (9.0.21 or higher) Use the Automation API Provision service:
     1. Log in to the Control-M/EM Server machine as an Administrator and store the downloaded zip file in the one of the following locations (within several minutes, the job type appears in Control-M Web):
        • Linux: $HOME/ctm_em/AUTO_DEPLOY
        • Windows: <EM_HOME>\AUTO_DEPLOY
     2. Log in to the Control-M/Agent machine and run the provision image command, as follows:

        • Windows: ctm provision image AEC_plugin.Linux
   • (9.0.20.200 or lower) Use the Automation API Deploy service, as described in deploy jobtype.
4. Create an AWS EC2 connection profile in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
   • Web: Creating a Centralized Connection Profile with AWS EC2 Virtual Machine Connection Profile Parameters
   • Automation API: ConnectionProfile:AWS EC2
5. Define an AWS EC2 job in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
   • Web: Creating a Job with AWS EC2 Job parameters
