Variable Types

Control-M/Analyzer uses the following types of variables:

Each type differs from the others in the way it can be used and in the manner (and length of time) it is stored, as described in Table 129.

Description

Database

"Permanent" variables stored in the Control-M/Analyzer Database and accessible by Control-M/Analyzer rules. Output of data balancing processes that have run in your environment can be stored in Control-M/Analyzer Database variables.

AutoEdit

Variables dynamically read from AutoEdit members during rule execution. These variables can be accessed by any INCONTROL product because they are stored in AutoEdit members.

Local

Variables only accessible by the current Control-M/Analyzer rule.

System

Variables, including environmental and runtime variables, that can only be accessed during the current Control-M/Analyzer invocation. The SYSDATE and SYSCENT variables provide support for calendar operations.
