in Xml file we use cluster in labview ... 

if i wants to use Cluster data in Subvi.. how to use it (Global Variable or Type def ?)

I'm not sure what question is being asked.  The Subject involves XML files and large applications, yet the final lines mention writing a Cluster in XML and seems to ask whether the Cluster should be a Global Variable or a TypeDef.

A general  "Good Idea" is to create a TypeDef that specifies (or "defines") (almost) every Cluster you create in LabVIEW.  This serves as a single-point definition of the Cluster.  If you need to make any changes, you change the TypeDef and all the variables based on it change to match.

I don't understand why TypeDefs and Global Variables are mentioned in the same sentence.
