Control-M Agent-Server
Port 7005 is the default communication channel between BMC Software Control-M Server and Control-M Agents, primarily used for scheduling, managing, and monitoring batch workloads across enterprise environments. This port facilitates the secure exchange of job status, execution commands, and event information, although organizations frequently customize it during installation for security or network configuration reasons..
Control-M by BMC Software is a leading enterprise workload automation platform, utilized globally for orchestrating complex batch job schedules. Port 7005 serves as the default communication endpoint for interactions between the Control-M Server and its distributed Agents. This bi-directional communication enables the Server to dispatch job instructions to the Agents and receive real-time status updates on job execution outcomes.
The communication protocol over port 7005 typically relies on TCP, offering reliable delivery of messages across heterogeneous system environments. Control-M’s architecture encourages scalability and customization, which means administrators can choose to modify this port during deployment to improve security alignment or compatibility with existing network policies.
In many environments, Control-M integrates with other enterprise tools and platforms, exchanging data and coordinating workflows across databases, ERP systems, and cloud services. The port is integral in maintaining the orchestration pipeline, ensuring timely execution of critical business processes such as end-of-day reports or data pipeline management.
