Re: Helpful SQL Queries for Control-M

Hi Robert,

I am using the control-m api and want to know if you can query active jobs with their assigned variables.
I want to retrieve active jobs with the api but I cannot retrieve using assigned variables, I can only retrieve with job parameter names.
Would it be possible to create a query job in self service that retrieves jobs with their assisgned variables?

Thx in advance

Hi BMC Team,

In my PROD environment we have created one Node_Group as mentioned below.

New node group created : HVDC_ATH_APPL

- jobs scripts are deployed on both nodes
- jobs scripts are referring to a NODE_GROUP (defined in CTRL-M), they are not referring to specific nodes.

Now we have tested few scenario , below are the finding:-

1) CTRL+M looks process to check whether node is up or down

2) We have Manhattan application(App server) on node 2.

3) When Manhattan node 2 ( App server) was stopped, above CTRL+M process were running on node 2. Batch picked up node 2 from node group consisting of node 1 and node 2 and ended NOT OK.

4) Is it possible to add one more condition in the CTRL+M to check for availability of the Manhattan App. Server?

5) Is it possible to make one of the node in the node group as primary and execute on secondary node only when primary node is down?

Based on the feedback from BMC , We will finalize testing action plan.

one fact about the kroger-national buyout. kroger and national had a coin flip as to who would remain in st. louis because neither one of them were making money.

national won and that was the end of kroger in st. louis i dont think kroger will ever be back as schunks is just to hard to compete against.

howdy my name is bob barnes i started at national at hannibal mo as a bagger, carryout and stocker at age of 17 in 1958. what a great place to work and national was so good to me. i worked at hannibal, quincy il, columbia, mo, collinsville, belleville, edwardsville, granite city and finally at columbia mo.

i worked for bob wherenberg, jack pierson, angelo zalagia, richard cates. district managers were dan gerlach, roy hearst, bob nichols, and bob collier. presidents were nat malt, bob ? and al cross.

it is so sad to think this company is gone forever and all those employees out of work. but national was an amazing place to work with lots of opportunities for folks that were interested in a job in the retail business. i think about national all the time and the people i worked with and for.

i took all the things i learned and applied it to other jobs i held finally as a small business owner. i would have never made it without my training at national.

i hope this reaches someone

As they say, hindsight is 20/20 and I didn't appreciate our local NTS until it was gone in Mora, MN next to the Great Northern railroad track. I was hired there when I was a junior in high school in 1976 to stock shelves, bag (and on occasion, deliver groceries in my Ford Pinto stationwagon) and do whatever needed doing, including calling the sheriff to get rid of a skunk that came to visit our trash bin. Those certainly were great days that will soon not be forgotten. Saved my pennies and eventually had enough to get a decent stereo system, which I still have and works great yet today. I call it my "National Tea Stereo" (Kenwood KR-1400 receiver, Dokorder 1120 reel to reel tape deck and Teledyne bookshelf speakers).

Admit it Travis, you just want to be as good looking as I am :-) LOL. Seriously though, I highly recommend his book. It's not a "diet" book by any means -- he just presents the scientific evidence and let's you make your own decisions. It really helped me and I can't say enough good things about it.

Alright...I'll bite. Looking at getting the book now.
