The DEFGLOB job defines the Global AutoEdit library for the Control‑O monitor on the computer on which the job is run.

Global variables can be stored either in variable databases or in Global AutoEdit libraries. The Control‑O monitor can write some Global variables, in AutoEdit symbol member format, to members in the Global AutoEdit library. Allocate a separate library for each computer in which Control‑O is active.

Each library must be allocated on a disk that can be updated by the appropriate Control‑O monitor; different Control‑O monitors cannot use the same library. To enable Control‑M to use the Global variables of Control‑O, BMC recommends that the library be allocated on a disk with READ authority from the Control‑M monitor.

If the Autocompress function is enabled, meaning that the GLBCOMP parameter is set to Y in the CTOPARM member in the IOA.PARM library, a backup file is also allocated to reserve an area for the backup.

For each computer where Control‑O executes, modify the parameters in the following table.

Note: When specifying values for parameters or subparameters that include both unit and volser fields, you must either define both the Unit and Volser fields, or leave both of them blank. Do not enter a value for only one of them.

Note: The VOL parameter must specify a non‑SMS managed volume. In an SMS environment, use the SMS ACS member to specify the unit and volume for the Global library.

Submit the job and verify that the step completes with a condition code of 0.

Note: Run this job (with different parameters) on every computer where Control‑O executes.
