Control-M for GCP Functions

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Functions enables you to develop, test, and run applications in the cloud.

Control-M for GCP Functions enables you to do the following:

• Execute GCP Functions jobs and pass URL or body parameters to the functions.
• Manage GCP Functions credentials in a secure connection profile.
• Connect to any GCP Functions endpoint.
• Integrate GCP Functions jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
• Monitor the status, results, and output of GCP Functions jobs in the Monitoring domain.
• Attach an SLA job to your GCP Functions jobs.
• Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for GCP Functions including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.

Setting up Control-M for GCP Functions

This procedure describes how to deploy the GCP Functions plug-in, create a connection profile, and define a GCP Functions 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 GCP Functions plug-in from the Control-M for GCP Functions download page in the EPD site.
3. Install the GCP Functions plug-in using 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:
      • Linux: ctm provision image GCP_Functions_plugin.Linux
      • Windows: ctm provision image GCP_Functions_plugin.Windows
4. Create a GCP Functions connection profile in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
   • Web: Creating a Centralized Connection Profile with GCP Functions Connection Profile Parameters
   • Automation API: ConnectionProfile:GCP Functions
5. Define a GCP Functions job in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
   • Web: Creating a Job with GCP Functions Job parameters
   • Automation API: Job:GCP Functions
