Setting MainView Explorer global options

Various global options are available for administrators to control site-wide MainView Explorer usage.

You can control usage in:

  • MainView Explorer - Global options are specified in member Z$MVE of the SBBCDEF site configuration library. SBBCDEF is created during customization and is allocated in the Host Server JCL procedure.
  • MVE Viewer - Global options are specified in a file called Z$MVE that you create in the export directory where exported data files and configurations reside.

To set global options for the MVE Viewer

  1. Create a file called Z$MVE (no file extension) in the export directory that contains exported data files and configurations.

  2. Add the global option statements that you want to use to Z$MVE, as described in the table in Global-option-statements.

    Important

    You can use the Z$MVE member in SBBCDEF as the basis for an MVE Viewer global options file. However, not all global options are supported by the MVE Viewer. For more information, see Global-option-statements.

  3. Save the Z$MVE file.

    Important

    If you do not want MVE Viewer users to be able to change exported configurations in the export directory, make the directory read-only. If you specify EXPORTRO=Y in the Z$MVE file, MVE Viewer users will not see the Save Configuration menu option or toolbar button.
