I suspect I misread something in a manual but I was trying to get some clarification on a question.

Are SA and/or Netview global variables shared across a sysplex? 

Specifically if I do this in an EXEC to alter the INGREQ_WAIT global does it affect all instances of SA in the sysplex or only the local LPAR where I make the change?

INGREQ_WAIT = '180'

'GLOBALV PUTC INGREQ_WAIT'

Any help would be appreciated.

The short answer is NetView and SA NetView global variables are NOT shared across a sysplex.  They are not even shared among multiple NetViews within a single system.  Global variables are only known to the local NetView on the local system.  So the documented ING* override clgobals must be defined on each SA NetView.

Having said that, SA came out with special 'shared variables' that are shared across the SAplex within a sysplex.  The variables are managed by the SA Manager, and can be set, read, and deleted via the INGVARS command from any SA NetView within the SAPlex.

Thank you, kind sir!

Great explanation. This was very helpful.
