Spring Boot with Control-M

I am starting to read about Control-M batch automation and am unfamiliar with it at this moment. I have been asked to investigate if Control-M can be integrated into a Spring Boot REST API.

Based on my readings, I find this confusing. All I am finding is that Control-M can be integrated to work with Spring Batch, but not with Spring Boot REST APIs.

It also makes no sense to me to integrate batch processing with API handling requests and responses. It seam to be a not good idea have these two complete for resources and processing power.

Has anyone done this before and what are your recommendations?

UPDATE

My initial understanding was that Control-M will be integrated into the REST API written in Spring Boot. This was false assumption for my case.

Instead, another (Spring Batch) application was created and Control-M would initiate its endpoints to handle processing.

If you asked how to request REST then you can create a 'Web Services' job or a common CMD job with the 'curl' command.

Its a confusing question because APIs, especially REST apis, are designed to be independant of programming language. If you want, you can execute them from a browser. Asking if one language or java library supports REST apis vs another language or java library makes little sense. If Control-M supports REST Apis, then yes, you can use spring boot to execute those rest requests. You just have to know spring boot.

As for the main question, does Control-M support REST requests? Yes, according to this documentation, it does.
