Resync control statement

Resync control statements are used by IMS DEDB Fast Recovery to process the in-doubt transactions in the sync point process.

If there are any transactions with in-doubt status at IMS, MVS™, or a system abnormal termination in a two-phase commit process environment such as DBCTL, use the Resync control statements to either commit or abort in the sync point process.

You can have IMS DEDB Fast Recovery prepare a skeleton of the Resync control statements for any in-doubt transactions that IMS DEDB Fast Recovery might detect during an IMS DEDB Fast Recovery job.

Rules for control statements

  • A control statement is coded in the form of an 80-column punched-card image between column 1 and column 72.
  • A control statement must be in a single line; it cannot be continued on succeeding lines.
  • The two keyword parameters UOR= and ACT= must be specified.
  • A keyword parameter can start in any column, provided the statement ends by the 72nd column.
  • No blanks can be inserted between keywords, =, and parameters.
  • Two keyword parameters must be separated by commas (,), and no blanks are allowed before or after a comma (,).
  • At least one blank is needed after the last (second) parameter, if the parameter does not end in the 72nd column.
  • Characters following blanks after the last keyword in a control statement are regarded as comments.
  • You cannot specify any keyword parameter more than once in a control statement.
  • Two or more control statements cannot be specified for one in-doubt transaction.
  • A control statement can be specified only for an in-doubt transaction.

Control statement format

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramUOR=recovery-tokenALL,ACT=COMMITABORT
UOR=recovery-token |ALL
recovery-token
Specifies the Recovery Token ID for an in-doubt transaction. The Recovery Token ID is 24 characters long. The first eight characters specify a subsystem ID. If the ID is shorter than 8 bytes, the ID starts from the left side and blank characters fill the remaining bytes. The next 16 characters specify 8-byte hexadecimal codes.

Example:

UOR=CICS1   A3E4F8B43EF0E902
ALL
Specifies that the process determined by the ACT= parameter is to be run for all in-doubt transactions. If the UOR=recovery-token is also specified, the action is superseded for the transaction.

Example:

UOR=ALL,ACT=COMMIT
UOR=CICS1   A3E4F8B43EF0E902,ACT=ABORT

The transaction indicated by recovery token CICS1 A3E4F8B43EF0E902 is aborted. All other in-doubt transactions are committed.

ACT=COMMIT|ABORT
COMMIT
Specify COMMIT to commit the transaction.
ABORT
Specify ABORT to abort the transaction.

Example of a statement:

UOR=CICS1   A3E4F8B43EF0E902,ACT=COMMIT
