When a task ends, its context ends with it. If a unit of recovery is active, the unit of recovery ends as well. Normally, your applications should invoke the commit or backout process prior to the end of a task. If they do not, RRS issues an implicit sync point when the task ends. If the task is ending normally, RRS attempts to commit the data implicitly. If the task is abnormally ending, RRS attempts to back out the data implicitly.

Do not rely on these implicit sync points. Performing syncpoint processing in this manner can cause units of recovery to be much longer than necessary and adversely affect system performance.
