# Deploy Control-M resources
<a name="deploy-control-m-resources"></a>

The first two steps in integrating AWS Mainframe Modernization with Control-M are to deploy the plug-in and the job type.

## Deploy the AWS Mainframe Modernization Control-M plug-in
<a name="deploy-plug-in"></a>

Plug-ins provide integration and support for the applications and services that Control-M orchestrates. For the managed AWS Mainframe Modernization service, deploy the AWS Mainframe Modernization plug-in.

The plug-in deployment is an infrequent activity. If installing the plug-in for the first time, follow the steps in the [Control-M documentation](https://docs.bmc.com/docs/ctm_integrations/control-m-for-aws-mainframe-modernization-1244652367.html). If you have an existing plug-in that you want to use, skip this step, and [create a connection profile](connection-profile.md).

## Deploy an AWS Mainframe Modernization job type in Control-M Application Integrator

The job type deployment is usually a one-time activity. If you already have an existing job type that you want to use, skip this step and move on to the next step of [creating a connection profile](connection-profile.md).

The example job type [AIJOB.ctmai](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-mainframe-modernization-controlm-integration/blob/main/assets/AIJOB.ctmai)  is supplied in the git repository. To deploy a job type, you must perform the following steps using [Application Integrator](https://documents.bmc.com/supportu/9.0.21/en-US/Documentation/Application_Integrator.htm):

1. Clone the [aws-mainframe-modernization-controlm-integration](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-mainframe-modernization-controlm-integration) GitHub repository and download the `AIJOB.ctmai` file to a file system location that can be accessed by Application Integrator.

1. Log in to Application Integrator.

1. On the **Home** tab, select **Import job type from file**, and select the location of `AIJOB.ctmai`.

1. If you want to make any modifications to the supplied example, familiarize yourself with Application Integrator.

1. Deploy the job type by following the instructions in the [Control-M documentation](https://documents.bmc.com/supportu/9.0.21/en-US/Documentation/Deploying_and_Publishing_a_Plug-in.htm).
