Restrictions on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS

On WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® it is not possible to use the local transaction interface if you have configured the ECI resource adapter to run in local mode. In this environment if you plan to connect to CICS® using the local protocol, do not attempt to get a LocalTransaction object from the connection (in other words do not invoke the method getLocalTransaction() on your connection object). In managed mode, attempts to invoke getLocalTransaction() will result in a NotSupportedException being thrown. In non managed mode, the results are unpredictable.
