IT27080: DISABLE TRANSACTIONAL SUPPORT IN RESOURCE ADAPTER

APAR status

• Closed as requirement.

Error description

• CICS resource adapter XA option can currently be "on" or "off".
  
  If it is "on", the flow type is XAFlow. If it is "off" the flow
  type is ExtendedModeEci.
  
  This APAR introduces a new XA option "none" making the flow type
  EciSynconreturn.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V10 and IBM App Connect
  Enterprise V11 using the CICSRequest node.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The CICS Transaction Gateway (TG) resource adapter classes are
  used for communicating to CICS transaction servers. This adapter
  currently provides the option for setting the transaction
  support level to be "LocalTransaction" and "XATransaction", but
  there is not a "NoTransaction" option.
  
  The CICS TG resource adapter APAR PH06220 adds support for
  "NoTransaction".
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS TG libraries have been updated within the product, and
  a new environment variable added called MQSI_ADAPTERS_XASUPPORT
  to allow the xaSupport property on the
  ECIManagedConnectionFactory class to be modified. This should
  only be used on request by IBM Support.
  
  The supported values for this environment variable are:
  "off" - local transaction, the flow type is "ExtendedModeEci"
  (default);
  "on" - XA transaction, the flow type is "XAFlow";
  "none" - no transaction, the flow type is "EciSynconreturn".
  

Temporary fix
