Hi there,

Does anyone know what are the differences between Control-M 6.3.01 and 7? Are there major differences? Can an admin for 6.3.01 handle release 7 as well? Will there be a lot of changes...Will training be required to understand 7?

thanks,
Alex

Thanks a lot for your answer chookgate. Do you know a document that might describe the new features for Control-M 7?

The install is a lot easier (with the PostGreSQL). Some of the housekeeping tasks can be spun-off from the User Daily and User Daily is now a lot quicker.

The big difference is on the Admin side, mass updates are much more easier to do (e.g. you can replace any field and use substrings). The Job Defs can be defined so that they keep 'x' versions (very nice) and the XML stuff is vaery handy too.

You can use LDAP for userids, which cuts down on a lot of admin work.
