Dynamic server selection algorithm

The Algorithm parameter specifies the algorithm that CICS® Transaction Gateway uses to select a CICS server within a DSS group.

Algorithm=<roundrobin|failover>
Description
Set the value to roundrobin to specify that transactions are distributed evenly between the CICS servers in the DSS group. If the selected CICS server is not available, then the other CICS servers in the list are tried in turn until an available server is found or all of the servers have been tried. If you set the value to failover, the first CICS server in the DSS group is selected by default. If the first server is not available, then each server in the list is tried in turn until an available server is found or there are no more servers in the list.

This parameter is in the DSSGROUP section of the configuration file.

Default value
There is no default value.
