Control-M for Dbt - Documentation for Helix Control-M Integrations

The DBT (Data Build Tool) job is a cloud-based computing platform that enables you to develop, test, schedule, document, and analyze data models.

Control-M for DBT enables you to do the following:

• Connect to any DBT endpoint from a single computer with secure login, which eliminates the need to provide authentication.
• Integrate DBT jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
• Execute DBT jobs and override the predefined DBT job commands.
• Monitor the status, results, and output of DBT jobs in the Monitoring domain.
• Attach an SLA job to your DBT jobs.
• Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for DBT including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.
• Run 50 DBT jobs simultaneously per Agent.
