- The affinity here is between all the transactions that issue START
commands for a particular transaction at a terminal, where that transaction
issues RETRIEVE WAIT. The transaction that issues the RETRIEVE WAIT
is also part of the affinity. The match is made on the transid.
- The affinity relation can be GLOBAL or USERID.
- Lifetime can be SYSTEM or PERMANENT. PERMANENT is assumed if PROTECT
is specified on any START.
- If the transaction to be STARTed is defined as remote or a remote
SYSID was specified on the START command so that the command is function
shipped to a remote CICS® region,
no data is collected.
- Commands in error are treated in the same way as commands that
give a NORMAL response, so data is collected.
Scanner differences: Scanner detects all instances of RETRIEVE
WAIT, and all instances of START that either specify TERMID, or omit
NOCHECK, or specify REQID (because of CANCEL affinity).
