The attributes are described in the following categories:
The general attributes of a DB2ENTRY are:
The thread selection attributes of a DB2ENTRY are:
The thread operation attributes of a DB2ENTRY are:
A transaction containing multiple UOWs (assuming the thread is released at syncpoint) may use a different thread for each UOW. The result may be that an accounting record is produced for each UOW.
When the DB2 sample sign-on exit DSN3@SGN is used with AUTHTYPE(USERID), the exit sends the user ID to DB2 as the primary authorization ID and the connected group name to DB2 as the secondary ID. When the sample sign-on exit is used, there is no difference between AUTHTYPE(USERID) and AUTHTYPE(GROUP).
To use the GROUP option the CICS system must have RACF external security SEC=YES specified in the CICS system initialization table (SIT).
If no RACF group ID is available for this USERID, an 8-character field of blanks is passed to DB2 as the group ID.
If a transaction is started (using a CICS command) and has no terminal associated with it, AUTHTYPE(TERM) should not be used.
Do not specify YES if the DB2ENTRY is used by transactions running enterprise beans as part of an OTS transaction; CICS syncpoint rollback is not allowed in an OTS transaction.
