The IOA Variable Database facility is composed of a series of screens that enable you to view, create, and modify Global AutoEdit variables in IOAVAR, the IOA Global Variable database.
As of version 6.0.00, this facility is available to Control-M and/or Control-O users only, and is available only if CMEM and/or Control-O are installed. Control-O users can also create and modify other variable databases.
Note: If Control-O is installed, the CMEM facility is controlled by the Control-O monitor instead of the CMEM monitor. In this case, references to the CMEM monitor apply instead to the Control-O monitor, and operator commands must contain CONTROLO in place of CTMCMEM. Certain screens and features of the IOA Variable Database Facility are relevant to Control-O but not to Control-M. If Control-O is installed, and you are using the IOA Variable Database Facility with Control-O, refer to the description of the IOA Variable Database facility in the Control-O User Guide.
Global variables may be defined in variable database IOAVAR. They can be accessed and updated by all Control-M jobs and/or Control-O rules on that computer. In addition, if Sysplex support is installed, these variables can be accessed and updated by all Control-M jobs and Control-O rules across the Sysplex. IOA Global variable database administration and Sysplex support are described in detail in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
Note: In addition to using the online IOA Variable Definition facility to define Global variables, Global variables can be defined or updated through SET VAR and DO SET statements in Control-M job scheduling definitions, through SET statements in the job’s JCL, and through SETOGLB statements in a KSL or KOA script. For more information on KeyStroke Language (KSL) User Guide, refer to the KeyStroke Language (KSL) User Guide.
The IOA Variable Database facility consists of several screens, some of which are relevant only to the INCONTROL administrator, and some of which are relevant to all users. The following screens are relevant to all users. Screens relevant only to administrators are described in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
