Anyone have any experience setting up WebFocus and/or ReportCaster jobs on a Control-M Enterprise Manager Scheduler?This message has been edited. Last edited by: <Kathryn Henning>,

What you basically have to do is set it up in a .bat file for Control-m to execute. The example below is the .bat file retrun has the fex described in the documentation that lists varous dependencies... most important the schedule-id.
d: cd d:\ibi\apps\sys_control_m D:\ibi\srv53\wfs\bin\edastart -f edastart_-f_retrun
Good Luck.

Thanks! We will take a look at this. The current work around was going to involve having Control-M launch a .bat file which in turn would launch an HTML page that would call a .fex.

If what I read about Control-M is true, then the scheduler can consume a web service, or launch a J2EE application. That being said, you can use RC Webservices to have control-m run a schedule. Or, use the RC Java API and build the required classes to allow control-M to directly execute the schedule.

Anyone have any more recent experience with letting control-m control RC jobs?
Update:
DSTRUN() does not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), so it cannot communicate with an "https://" website. I did not find that explicitly stated in the documentation (as a reason for labelling it "Legacy"); that should be made clearer.This message has been edited. Last edited by: j.gross,

We did earlier this year, but your probably not going to like my response.
We implemented the RESTful license to allow WF objects to be called. Since our version of Control-M doesn't support these types of calls, we build a little JAVA app that makes the REST calls which calls the RC jobs.
So Control-M executes a batch file which calls the JAVA program which makes the REST calls to RC.
May be ugly, but it has saved a lot of support time since some of our RC jobs are data dependent.
