Dear MAdhuri,

Control M is a process to configure programs for scheduling on R/3 side.This

includes scheduling and monitoring dependencies between SAP R/3 and SAP BW, including process chains.this is more advanced as far as i know

generaly BW consultants have something to do with this.

CONTROL - M is a non-SAP-tool to control the job scheduling in SAP. It is really advanced as you can do all related file handling and/or archiving, control jobs and processes between vaious systems including error handling, conditional processing and so on.

Usually only big companies with many systems will use it; the administration of CONTROL-M can be a fulltime-job for more than one administrator.
