4.5 Handling Global Parameters
4.5.2 Setting Global Parameters
Global parameters can be defined as predecessor conditions that must be
satisfied before a schedule or job can be processed. These predecessors are
specified on the Criteria Definition panels or by using the CRITERIA keyword
in this format:
GBLxnn=value
These predecessors are satisfied when a global parameter with the same values
for x and nn is set to the value defined preceding. To set the value of a global
parameter, go to the Online Monitoring panel and enter:
6,GBLxnn=value
Where
Is
x A if the value is a number from 1 to 99999999
B if the value is Y or N
C if the value is up to 8 alphanumeric characters
nn
A number from 1 to 16 that matches the number on the
criteria statement
Once GBLxnn is set to a value that satisfies the predecessor conditions of
schedules and jobs, Unicenter CA-Scheduler cannot be "dissatisfied." Resetting
GBLxnn will not change the fact that these predecessor conditions have
already been satisfied.
When the nature of your work flow requires manual control, use GBLxnn
variables in the criteria statements of the schedules and jobs that require that
type of manual control.
