WAIT commands
- The affinity here is really an inter-transaction affinity between the issuer of the WAIT EVENT, WAIT EXTERNAL, or WAITCICS command, and one or more posters. However, the poster of the ECB(s) associated with the WAIT command cannot be detected, because this is not performed via the CICS® API. Only half the affinity can be detected.
- This means affinity transaction groups cannot be created, because the affinity degenerates to an affinity with the system on which the WAIT command was issued; that is, a transaction-system affinity.
- The use of WAIT commands does require reporting, however, because the system programmer should be aware of the transactions and programs that issue such commands, and should attempt to locate the posters and so create the correct inter-transaction affinity groups.
