Database Variable Definition Screen

The various attributes of a Database variable accessed by a Control-M/Analyzer rule are called Database variable parameters. This chapter provides detailed descriptions of all these parameters and their uses.

Database variable parameters only need to be defined once for each variable. Control-M/Analyzer uses this framework for numerous values (generations) of the same variable.

Database variable parameters are defined by the Online Database facility using formatted screens.

Before proceeding with this chapter, all Control-M/Analyzer users should read the following:

All parameter definitions are stored in the Control-M/Analyzer Database. The Database consists of two files – the Database Variable Basic file and the Database Variable Generation file. For additional information, refer to the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.

Maintenance of the Database and management of Database variable definitions are performed using the Online Definition facility and Database maintenance utilities. For more information, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide, and the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
