General job submission variables

The following table describes the general job submission variables:

Variable

Description

%%DBGLVL

numeric

The agent process uses the First Failure Data Capture mechanism to write all the information collected and then sets the debug level to the value specified in the variable when processing the job.

BMC recommends that when setting the %%DBGLVL variable, that you also set the First Failure Data Capture Reset interval (sec) parameter in the Control-M Configuration Manager to the value of 5. This causes the tracker process to stop writing debug information 5 seconds after having been invoked by the %%DBGLVL Variable instead of the default of 600 seconds.

%%OVERLIB

string

Override Path(name of an alternate library/directory in which job script is stored) of the job.

%%PARMn

Job submission parameter, where n represents the parameter number.

This variable can be used to pass parameters to the following types of jobs:

  • Local jobs: Command, Script, Embedded script
  • Remote Host jobs: Script, Embedded script

n can be a number between 1 and 32.

NOTE: For Control-M for IBM i (AS/400) computer, if a single quote (') must be specified, use double single quotes ('') for each single quote.
