Re: Is there a way to cause SRB to TCB percolation if an XCF exit fails?

2012-04-17 Thread Peter Relson
As Mark Brooks basically said, with current functionality, the SRB exit routine must issue CALLRTM TYPE=ABTERM,RETRY=NO (whether from its mainline or its own recovery) if the XCF module that calls the exit routine is not to retry. If the exit routine wants this to be predictable, it would be we

Hi, XCF has its own recovery. If your message exit recovery fails to field the problem, it percolates to XCF recovery. By default, XCF recovery will always attempt to retry. Since the error was retriable, XCF retried. Thus no SRB to Task percolation occurs. You would need to create a no

Hi, The recovery for the various XCF stubs that call the application exit routines will in general always retry if permitted to do so. If you can get your exit routine to fail in a way that causes the system to drive XCF recovery with a non-retriable error, you should get the SRB-to-Task p

The various exits run in SRB mode. As a pants and suspenders guy, I would like to have the task receive a notification from the system if the SRB and its FRR fail. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks pac
