Recovery for transactions

CICS® recoverability options are limited for local and remote transactions.

The following options apply for local transactions:

Automatic restart when a transaction abends
Timeout when a transaction has been waiting for resources for longer than a specified time interval, usually because the transaction is deadlocked with another transaction for the same resources
Allowing you to purge transactions that "hang" for reasons that cannot otherwise be resolved

For remote transactions, in addition to the options for local transactions, CICS provides indoubt options to specify the recovery action in the event of indoubt failures.
