Control-M Installation on Azure

The installation of Control-M on an Azure instance (Windows or UNIX) is the same of Control-M installation for off premises. To install, see Control-M Full Installation.

Azure instances have a public name and a private name. The private name enables communication only within the network of the instance, whereas the public name enables communication over the Internet. The public name can change when the instance is stopped or started.

If the private name is not recognized by a Control-M component, you need to use the public name, as described in the following examples:

  • Control-M clients reside on off premise instances.

  • Control-M Self Service or Control-M Workload Change Manager are accessed from a browser that does not reside on network where the Control-M/EM server is installed.

  • Control-M/EM is on premise and Control-M/Server is off premise.

If you install the Azure PostgreSQL Databases Single Server, do the following:

  • Define the following variables:

    • setenv DB_ADMIN_NAME postgres@<pg azure single server>

    • setenv SKIPVALIDATIONS Y

  • Start the installation and select Existing installation.
