The AI module management/design UI

Your AI module base information

Simple and concise

• A name + an icon + an ID to clearly identify the job type

• A small description field

• A contact email to manage support inquiries

• An execution mode:

• Command-line

• Web Service

How to define your new module

An AI module is composed of:

• 1 up to N “steps”, each with:

• The task itself (command or web service)

• The task’s monitoring

• The task’s output management

• Plus some “global” optional steps:

• Pre-execution stage

• Post-execution operations

• And the management of parameters and properties

Tasks definition

Command-line:• Can be any command or script

supported by the underlying operating system

• Manual and/or assisted creation

• No possibility to import yet

Web Service:• Supports SOAP, WSDL and REST

• Possibility to import (URL/file)

• Manual creation possible

Tasks monitoringEach task can be monitored:• Capture runtime progress

• Perform post-execution validation (with N iterations)

And have corrective actions• Customized task cancelation

(instead of a “dirty” kill)

Note: Each action to monitor or correct can be either a command or a web service

Output managementStarting with an analysis phase

• Search for keyword using either free text or pre-defined properties

• With different search options (from beginning/end, contains X keyword, regexp…)

And actions phase• Change step status to OK/NOTOK

• Extract values and transmit them to following tasks using properties

Parameters management

Three spaces to store/define parameters:

• Connection Profile (CCM)

• Global parameters

• Sensitive information (credentials, API keys, …)

• Job Properties (JEF)

• Parameters to be filled during job definition

• Pre-filled parameters (still modifiable)

• Runtime Parameters

• Variables used/shared between steps

How to deploy your new AI module

One-click instant deployment :

• Control-M/Agent

• Module definition

• Parameters and properties

• GUI client

• Module form (EMWA)

• Profile management (CCM)

• Web interfaces

• Self-Service and WCM

Managing your AI module profiles

Simple and intuitive

• Profiles are managed via the CCM

• Clean interface similar to native

modules (SAP, PS8, AFT, …)

• Input validation based on definition

• Sensitive information is masked

Defining a job

Customized to your needs

• Clean, explicit, customized and

error-free JEF interface

• Drastically reduces the time to

define a job

• Plus all the functionalities from a

standard job (pre/post processing,

…)

Note: Autoedit variables can still be used in the

form

Create and share with peers• Import/Export modules definition in

a click

• Download modules developed by industry peers from the Control-M Application Hub @ bmc.com/hub

• Or share them easily with peers via standard means (email/ftp/…)

• Very light format (< 100kb)

Managing your AI modules

Prerequisites
