Can Control-M emulate all the functionalities of TWS in a distributed environment?

Hello peers, 

I work for a medium-sized environmental services company.

I am currently researching Control-M and its functionalities. Would it be possible to do a smooth transition to Control-M from TWS? Can Control-M emulate all the functionalities of TWS in a distributed environment?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Manuel


Yes, BMC Control-M has an inbuilt Conversion tool that allows for converting your data from your current scheduling application (TWS) to BMC Control-M.






Depending on your current setup, further fine-tuning actions may be required but it s 100% possible and relatively much easier because of the inbuilt conversion tool, rather than 1:1 job creation.

I would totally
recommend you to contact your BMC sales representative. BMC Senior
Consultants could help you with overall guidelines through the migration
process, and Control-M professional services (from BMC or certified a
partner) could help you for a smooth and safe migration.
