Depends on the version of Control-M Server that you are using ...

Hi Archu,

To remove the bad configuration agents, it’s best to shutdown Control-M during this process. In the ~/ctm/data/AGSTAT and ~/ctm/data/AGPRM directories remove all the corresponding bad agents.

To find the jobs that are setup to run on a “bad” agent, run the following from the Control-M database (example=sybase)

select JOBNAME, MEMNAME, NODEID, NODEGRP from CMS_JOBDEF where NODEID = ‘<bad>’
go
NODEGRP = ‘<bad>’ can also be used in place of NODEID and you can also look in the CMS_JOBAJF too. These jobs can need to either be removed on corrected to reflect the appropriate agent.

Hi,

Use ctm_menu utility on Control/m server, enter number 9 <enter>, enter number <4> enter.

archu - with that version of Control-M it is actually easier and 'cleaner' to do this via the CONTROL-M Configuration Manager (highlight the Agent in question and right-click/delete).

hy all
don't forget that :
a agent is going to discover status when only one job in ajf in design with concerned agent host.

you must first remove all jobs refering to the agent before !!!

after using CCM in in 6.3 to clean it by delete
