Application Integration for Databases Capabilities

• Encrypts Database User IDs and passwords, which eliminates the ability to view this data within CONTROL-M Sysout.
• Provides Database function (i.e., Select Statement) syntax help from within the CONTROL-M/Desktop job definition form.
• Delivers Database function syntax validity check for increased productivity and reduced human error.
• Conveys Database error messages in plain text with detailed explanations (For Example, “Error 7496: Table ‘payroll’ does not exist in Database ‘HR’ “).
• Integrates fully with existing platforms and management infrastructure.
• Reduces costs, improves security, and simplifies database management

Application Integration for Databases Features

• AI is platform independent and capable of managing database jobs across the enterprise.
• Support for Industry leading databases such as Oracle, MS SQL, and MySQL.
• Secure operation using native database and operating system security and fully-encrypted connections.
• Complete cross-platform compatibility.
• Provides the option to store database function code (For Example, Select Statements) directly within CONTROL-M for increased security and more options in editing.
• Enables execution of queries over networks with access restrictions.

Benefits

• Secure scheduling of database workload
• Integrate database workload with the enterprise
• Intuitive view of database scheduling environment
• Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance

Control-M AI for Informatica
Informatica is a data warehousing tool with an internal scheduler that does not work in tandem with CONTROL-M. Traditionally users needed to create custom scripts to invoke Informatica ETLs. These are cumbersome and insecure. The Informatica AI makes scheduling these tasks easy.
Features:

• Automates Informatica Workflow operations
• Secure – Sensitive account information like Informatica server, repository and protocol, and web services hub port is encrypted
• Integrates with existing systems – Informatica AI uses Informatica’s Web Services Hub. External processes can start Informatica ETLs.
• Complete visibility into transactions.
• Extract and transform data between multiple sources
• Consolidation and rationalization of data into unified, master data stores

CONTROL-M AI for Business Objects
Business Objects is a business intelligence application with an intuitive reporting solution that helps you create flexible, feature-rich and dependable reports from a wide range of data sources. In most organizations, the generation of reports requires inputs from jobs in CONTROL-M. This cross scheduler dependency is eliminated with the GSS AI for Business Objects

Features:

• Business Objects AI supports databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.
• Business Objects designers can protect account details with strong encryption in compliance with public law and corporate oversight requirements.
• Schedulers and operators can export, e-mail and monitor executions of reports entirely within the CONTROL-M framework
• Secure - sensitive account information is encrypted
• Integrates with Report Server by executing stored RPT files
• Syntax can effectively handle sub-reports with multiple

Common Benefits

• Seamless user experience and management controls for executing database queries and commands in CONTROL-M.
• Removes the requirement of custom scripts when invoking these applications, thus removing the dependency of developer or admin support to scheduling.
• User-friendly integration between CONTROL-M and common applications via the same CONTROL-M Job Definition Form used by customers today.
• Improved usability. CLI parameters can be presented using drop downs, radio buttons and other controls which are not available using character mode
• Provides a central management GUI for the creation and maintenance of AI accounts.
• Minimize Human Error through application based validity checks in each AI.
• Accurate, reliable and more secure than current methods
• Pre-built, sustainable integrations reduce implementation risk and cost
