Spring Boot with Control-M

Question

I am starting to read about Control-M batch automation and am unfamiliar with it at this moment. I have been asked to investigate if Control-M can be integrated into a Spring Boot REST API .

Based on my readings, I find this confusing. All I am finding is that Control-M can be integrated to work with Spring Batch , but not with Spring Boot REST APIs .

It also makes no sense to me to integrate batch processing with API handling requests and responses. It seam to be a not good idea have these two complete for resources and processing power.

Has anyone done this before and what are your recommendations?

UPDATE

My initial understanding was that Control-M will be integrated into the REST API written in Spring Boot. This was false assumption for my case.

Instead, another (Spring Batch) application was created and Control-M would initiate its endpoints to handle processing.

Answer 1

Its a confusing question because APIs, especially REST apis, are designed to be independant of programming language. If you want, you can execute them from a browser. Asking if one language supports REST apis vs another language makes little sense. If Control-M supports REST Apis, then yes, you can use spring boot to execute those rest requests. You just have to know spring boot .

As for the main question, does Control-M support REST requests? Yes, according to this documentation , it does.

Answer 2

If you asked how to request REST then you can create a 'Web Services' job or a common CMD job with the 'curl' command.
