Distributing Control-M clients

This procedure describes how to distribute Control-M clients to multiple end users over the Web.

Before you begin:

• Verify that all the target computers meet the system requirements, as described in Control-M client system requirements.

To distribute Control-M clients:

1. From the Manage tab, select Client Distribution.

   The Client Distribution window appears.

2. Select the Enable Distribution Mode checkbox.
3. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to distribute the Control-M client to end users, send them the following URL:

     http://<Control-M/EM server hostname>:18080/Welcome

   • If you want to distribute a Control-M client update, from the Distribute version drop-down list, select the Control-M version that you want to distribute to the end users.

     The list of available versions reflects the installations on the Control-M/EM server.

   NOTE: If you want to ensure that the end users upgrade the distributed client by a certain date, select the Prevent login if user has not upgraded by: checkbox and select a date.

4. Click OK.

   If you distributed a Control-M client update, the installation is automatically downloaded to your end users computers. They will receive a notification that an installation update is ready to be installed. The connection parameters to the Control-M/EM server are automatically populated in the installation wizard. When the installation is complete, the Control-M client is available to the end users.
