The IOA Variables Database facility, which is also available to Control-M if CMEM is installed, is composed of a series of screens that enable you to view, create and modify the types of AutoEdit variable databases shown in Table 79, as assigned by the system administrator.
Table 79 IOA Variables Databases
Database |
Description |
|---|---|
Global |
Includes user-defined AutoEdit global variables that are shared by all rules, and Control-M jobs if CMEM is installed, on the same computer. |
XAE global |
Includes user-defined AutoEdit XAE global variables that are shared by all rules, and Control-M jobs, if CMEM is installed, over a Sysplex. |
Note: In addition to global and XAE global, user-defined AutoEdit variables can also be defined as local. Local variables are used by only one rule (or Control-M job, if CMEM is installed) running on one computer. The IOA Variable Database facility does not deal with local variables. For more information on user-defined AutoEdit variables and the XAE facility, see AutoEdit Facility.
Certain screens and features of the IOA Variable Database facility are relevant to Control-O but not to Control-M. If CMEM is installed, and you only want to use the IOA Variable Database facility as it relates to the Control-M environment, refer to the description of the IOA Variable Database facility in the Control-M for z/OS User Guide.
All information in AutoEdit variable databases is stored in the files described in Table 80.
Table 80 AutoEdit Variable Database Files
File |
Description |
|---|---|
Variable Database Definition File |
Information about each variable database. |
Variable Database Column File |
Information about all column names in all variable databases. The column names represent variable names to be used within the database. |
Variable Database Variables File |
Information about all variables in all variable databases. This file stores the actual values for the variables. |
These files are managed by the IOA Access method. The number of database variables that can be defined is limited only by the size of these files. The IOA Access method is described in detail in the IOA chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
To enter the Variable Database facility, select Option IV in the IOA Primary Option menu. The IOA Variables Facility Entry Panel is displayed.
