How are Job Sysout's managed on Control-M Agentless Remote Hosts connected through WMI on Microsoft Windows?

 

- Control-M manages job sysouts on Agentless Remote Hosts running Microsoft Windows using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) through a shared directory.
- When defining the Remote Host  from the Control-M Configuration Manager, or when defining the Remote Host from the Control-M/Server command line ctmhostmap, the sysout directory paramater is required.
- The sysout directory on the remote agent is used to temporarily store the sysout on the remote machine.  
- The sysout is created as one of the temp files ( .log) on the Remote Host.  It's then sent to the Control-M/Agent upon job completion, where it is processed (extracting the job's exit return code).
- If there are many large sysouts, consideration should be given to using a Control-M/Agent instead of Agentless technology as there is a impact to network bandwidth when moving the sysout from the Remote Host to the Control-M/Agent.
