Global records

These records are shared among all XBM subsystems in the MVS complex. Consequently, any changes that you make to a global record (a management set, for example) on one XBM subsystem are seen by all other XBM subsystems.

Although global records themselves are shared among XBM subsystems, the implementation of global records is specific to each XBM subsystem. Therefore, activation or deactivation of a global record on one XBM subsystem will not cause that action to occur on any other XBM subsystem.
