example, executing XINFO Forecast using the ctmrpln utility program is only
possible on the server for the Control-M/Server component. However,
centralizing the unloading and scanning of Control-M systems on the Windows
server reduces the need to have Unload scripts on all Control-M systems.

- Execute XINFO Forecast using the ctmrpln utility program if needed.
- Unload and scan Control-M systems centrally on the Windows server.

XINFO Windows Server Architecture
with z/OS Scanner and Control-M Scanner
Introduction
XINFO for Windows server installation together with Scanner(s) z/OS and Control-M as Workload Automation Software, XINFO Control-M Scanner can be installed in two different versions:
- XINFO Unload scripts and Scanner on Windows server where XINFO server is located
- XINFO Unload scripts on Control-M server where Enterprise Manager and/or server are located and XINFO Scanner on Windows server where XINFO server is located
Important
Both versions have their advantages and disadvantages, e.g. only on the server
for the Control-M/Server component can the XINFO Forecast, based on the
ctmrpln utility program, be executed on the system itself.
On the other hand, you can unload and scan every Control-M system centrally on
the Windows server which reduces the need to have the Unload scripts on all
Control-M systems.
