Synchronizing Resources for Non-2PC Applications
Often CICS and Teradata resources need to be synchronized.
When they do, the applications programmer must use appropriate CICS facilities to synchronize updating multiple recoverable resources.
It is the application programmer’s responsibility to coordinate these updates.
Synchronization of these resources requires separate commands to CICS and to the Teradata Database as follows:
Under these conditions, Teradata SQL statements to commit or roll back resources may be required.
Use the following CICS commands with the Teradata SQL statements to synchronize Teradata resources:
|
CICS Command |
Description |
|
EXEC CICS RETURN |
Triggers a CICS synchronization point |
|
EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT |
Triggers CICS to commit all changes completed to this point; insert at each logical completion point in the application |
|
EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT ROLLBACK |
Backs out all changes to this point (use in case of error) |
|
EXEC CICS ABEND |
Terminates program execution |
