Problem conclusion

• The message explanation for  DFHRM0129 will now read:
  
  Explanation
  Communication with the remote system has failed.
  The remote system in this case could be another CICS
  system or an external resource manager. This error can occur
  with external resource managers connected to CICS through
  the resource manager interface (RMI) as well as CICS
  systems connected through LU 6.2, MRO and IPIC.
  
  The resource updates in the local system are backing
  out. The notification of the outcome of the distributed
  unit of work might not reach the remote system. One
  system might commit its resource updates while the
  other backs them out leaving updates out of
  synchronization. There will be no resolution message
  when the local and remote systems resynchronize,
  because the remote system does not provide the local
  system with resynchronization information.
