Implementing facility assignment processing for non-unique UserIDs with Link3270 bridge server adapters

At build time, the person who models the adapter can enable non-unique UserIDs for a Link3270 service flow. For information on how to enable processing for non-unique UserIDs, see the section on using property files of the Service Flow Modeler help in the WebSphere® Developer for System z® information center.

When you enable processing for non-unique UserIDs in your adapter model, you must also provide instructions in your adapter for the deletion of Link3270 bridge facilities and associated Link3270 session state data. All allocated facilities that were used by all of the Link3270 server adapters, and executed as part of a process, must be deleted. If you do not delete the bridge facilities, CICS® Service Flow Runtime Link3270 State file records may remain assigned and will be rendered useless to standard CICS Service Flow Runtime processing. This is true regardless of the processing mode; synchronous processing for inquiry requests; or asynchronous processing for update requests. For information on how to set the Link3270 bridge facility deallocation indicator, see information on MAT_DEACT_ON_EXIT in the Service Flow Modeler component of the WebSphere Developer for System z information center.
