AOR routing indicator : (MP-BR-AOR-ROUTING-IND)

Data

This is a one byte field that indicates whether or not transactions that will run using the Link3270 bridge mechanism in the Link3270 server adapter can be routed, either dynamically or as defined on the transaction install definition. It is not used in CICS® Service Flow Runtime V3.1. This property is supported for compatibility with previous releases only. Valid values are:
  • Y - Yes, transactions can be routed
  • N - No, transactions can not be routed
Note: If all the transactions in this Link3270 server adapter are defined to run in the same CICS region, not necessarily the AOR router region (region where this Link3270 Navigator will be executing), then this indicator should be set to 'N' to reduce performance overhead. If you do not know where the transactions will run, you should set this indicator to 'Y'. Although a value of 'Y' will increase performance overhead, it will ensure proper Link3270 server adapter execution. See information on Transaction routing considerations and Link3270 bridge load balancing in the CICS External Interfaces Guide. See Configuring the runtime environment to use transaction routing for information on AOR transaction routing and configuring CICS Service Flow Runtime for transaction routing.
