Bmc Control-M 7: A Journey from Traditional Batch Scheduling to Workload Automation Paperback – 14 October 2011

BMC Control-M is the most widely used workload automation tool in the world. The problem is up until now if you wanted to find out how to use it your options were pretty limited. Either go to training (good luck getting that approved), try to learn it on your own (good luck with that one, too), or find the two existing forums out there that cover the product (hint: Control-X on Yahoo Groups and the BMC Communities forums). For such a powerful product, the lack of documentation outside what BMC provided was pretty much non-existant.Qing has written a book that takes you through the product from setup, to scheduling, to post-run analysis. You'll not only learn about the Control-M worload scheduling system, but you will also learn about just what exactl is "workload automation" (hint: it's not just batch anymore) and how can you use this tool to help prioritize, plan and implement workload rules across your IT processes no matter if they are batch, real-time or a hybrid of the both.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a newbie to the world of Control-M. It will give you a good starting point reference guide, as well as give you background of why the tool does what it does -- and what makes it all work behind the scenes.

So far so good. A great book for people who are new to the product. Also a good reference book as well if you have been working with the product for some time. Hope to see the author again at BMC Engage 2015 in Las Vegas.

Great book!
