Nonvolatile Status Variables

Nonvolatile status variables are disk-based. CA Automation Point stores nonvolatile variables in a special disk file named AXC.glv (which CA Automation Point reads and loads at startup). A nonvolatile status variable is distinguished from a regular (volatile) status variable by a special prefix in the nonvolatile variable's name.

To create a nonvolatile status variable, place the prefix AXCDISK_ in the variable name. For example, specifying SET(&AXCDISK_STATUS=WAITING) assigns a value of WAITING to the nonvolatile variable &AXCDISK_STATUS.

In addition to the built-in AXCDISK_ prefix, you can define other nonvolatile-variable prefixes.

To define your own nonvolatile variable prefixes

1. From Configuration Manager, go to Expert Interface, Automation, Non-Volatile Status Variables.

   The Non-Volatile Status Variables dialog displays.

2. Enter the new prefix name in the Prefix field.
3. Click OK.
