oh yes I forgot SAS and when they moved to providing a DVD only it got
worse for mainframe installs and configuration
I don't have SAS here so I'm not sure it's changed but I'd hope so

A "basic sysplex" would need an Instance of CTL-M on each image with little or
no overlap. Commands would need to be issued by the batch job to
(for example) set the "CICS DOWN" flag so the batch jobs can run. What a PITA!
Agreed on Candle. SAS is also notable in the "my way or the highway" approach
to installation/maintenance. Especially for the z/OS environment.

that's great info - I didn't know about them not supporting basic sysplex, is
that unsupported also for a single image system I wonder?
IIRC Candle's Omegamon suite was the same way - our way or no way, what a pain.
for me IOA and the CONTROL configuration ISPF tool was far easier that the
Candle tool.

From the standpoint of functionality, I consider Control-M to be one of the
Cadillacs of job schedulers.
That being said, I abhor the packaging of the product and the "my way(BMC's) or the
highway" approach to configuration and deployment.
There is one major shortcoming with the product. It only supports Parallel
Sysplex or Single Image operation. A basic sysplex is not supported.
HTH,

Anyone on here ever used Control-M from BMC? Any comments on the
Installation/Maintenance/Performance ...ET AL? Any additional products that had
to be purchased because Control-M didn't have everything it needed to run
successfully?
