COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is designed for IT professionals who are responsible for using Control-M
products to monitor and manage a production environment, whose responsibilities include
creating job definitions.
The course covers product usage of Control-M/EM and Control-M/Desktop.
Control-M/EM is a monitoring and management tool for the enterprise batch-scheduling
environment. It allows users to manage job processing across all platforms supported by
Control-M/Servers and Control-M/Agents. Much of the course covers the creation of job
processing definitions using the companion product Control-M/Desktop. Hands-on labs
allow participants to apply the procedures and concepts presented in the class.
Following the completion of the BMC Control-M/Enterprise Manager 7.0: Scheduling
course, you will have three weeks to take the BMC Certified Scheduler certification
examination online. You can take the exam twice within this period. Those who pass will
receive the title of Certified Scheduler: BMC Control-M 7.0. Those who do not take the
exam within this timeframe, or do not pass after two attempts within this timeframe,
will not be granted a retake.
