Set_Work_Identifier (ATRSWID, ATRSWID2, ATR4SWID)

z/OS MVS Programming: Resource Recovery
SA23-1395-00

The resource manager calls the Set_Work_Identifier service to set the current or next unit of work identifier (UWID) for a unit of recovery (UR). In response to the call, RRS returns a return code. There are three versions of Set_Work_Identifier, each with different parameters.
  • ATRSWID is for AMODE(31) callers and is the basic version of the service. It must be called specifying a UR interest token.
  • ATRSWID2 is for AMODE(31) callers and can be called specifying either a UR token or a UR interest token.
  • ATR4SWID is for AMODE(64) callers, allows parameters in 64 bit addressable storage and can be called specifying either a UR token or a UR interest token.
Code your resource manager to call the version that includes the support you need.
Table 1 describes the UWIDs that this service can set. Your resource manager can use the call to set a UWID only if one does not already exist for the UR; the UWID must be null before the call.

The GTRID length and BQUAL length define the length of the first and second subsection of the ID. The GTRID must have a length of at least 1 byte, however the BQUAL can have a length of 0. The length of the entire XID cannot exceed 140 bytes.
Yes No

The XID for a unit of recovery can also be set with the Express_UR_Interest service.

The next LUWID is used for the next UR, unless ATR_BREAK_TREE was set in the UR's side information by a Set_Side_Information call.

All of the URs in a cascaded UR family will have the same GTRID component in their XID.

Environment

The requirements for the caller are:

Programming requirements

Either link edit your object code with the linkable stub routine ATRRCSS (31 bit) or ATRR4CSS (64 bit) from SYS1.CSSLIB, or LOAD and CALL the callable service. The high level language (HLL) definitions for the callable service are:

HLL definition Description
ATRRASM 390 Assembler declarations
ATRRC C/390 declarations

Restrictions

The state of the resource manager associated with the specified UR interest token must be run, which means it has registered, set its exit routines with RRS, and completed restart.

You cannot set a global work identifier for a UR in local transaction mode.

For the specified interest in the UR, your resource manager cannot call the Set_Work_Identifier service if any of the following are true:
  • A resource manager's exit routine returns ATRX_LATER_CONTINUE
  • The UR state is in_completion.
  • For a server distributed syncpoint manager (SDSRM), the UR state is in_forget.

When the resource manager issues the call in SRB mode, the call must not specify binary zero for ur_interest_token or ur_or_uri_token.

Input register information

Before issuing the call, the caller does not have to place any information into any register unless using it in register notation for the parameters, or using it as a base register.

Output register information

When control returns to the caller, the GPRs contain:.
Register
Contents
0-1
Used as work registers by the system
2-13
Unchanged
14
Used as a work register by the system
15
Return code
When control returns to the caller, the ARs contain:.
Register
Contents
0-1
Used as work registers by the system
2-13
Unchanged
14-15
Used as work registers by the system

Some callers depend on register contents remaining the same before and after issuing a call. If the system changes the contents of registers on which the caller depends, the caller must save them before calling the service, and restore them after the system returns control.

Performance implications

None.

Syntax

Write the appropriate call as shown in the syntax diagrams. You must code the parameters in the CALL statement as shown.

Parameters

The parameters are explained as follows:
return_code
Returned parameter
  • Type: Integer
  • Length: 4 bytes

Contains the return code from the Set_Work_Identifier service.

,ur_interest_token
Supplied parameter
  • Type: Character string
  • Character Set: No restriction
  • Length: 16 bytes

For ATRSWID callers, specifies a token that uniquely identifies your resource manager's interest in the UR whose data you want to set. Your resource manager received the token from one of the following services: Express_UR_Interest, Retain_Interest.

,ur_or_uri_token
Supplied parameter
  • Type: Character string
  • Character Set: No restriction
  • Length: 16 bytes
For ATRSWID2 callers, specifies a token that uniquely identifies either the UR, or your resource manager's interest in the UR, whose data you want to set:
  • UR token: The token for the UR.
  • UR interest token: The UR interest token that identifies your resource manager's interest in the UR.
Your resource manager received the token from one of the following services: Express_UR_Interest, Retrieve_Interest_Data, Retain_Interest, Create_Cascaded_UR, or Retrieve_UR_Data.

Because you may pass two different types of tokens through this parameter, passing an invalid token can generate either a ATR_URI_TOKEN_INV or a ATR_UR_TOKEN_INV return code. For example, passing an invalid UR token might result in an ATR_URI_TOKEN_INV return code. Even though a UR token was passed, if it is invalid, then RRS may not understand what sort of token it was supposed to be. For this reason, IBM® recommends callers check both return codes, even when they know what type of token they intend to pass.

,set_option

Action: Check the resource manager for a probable coding error. Correct the resource manager and rerun it.

701
ATR_RM_STATE_ERROR

Meaning: Program error. The next XID cannot be set. The system rejects the service call.

Action: Check the resource manager for a probable coding error. Correct the resource manager and rerun it.

764
ATR_LOCAL_TRAN_MODE_INV

Meaning: Program error. The current UR is in local transaction mode. This service is valid only for a UR in global transaction mode. The system rejects the service call.

Action: Check the calling program for a probable coding error. If the caller is a resource manager, it should not unset its exits with RRS.

F00
ATR_NOT_AVAILABLE

Meaning: RRS is not available.

Action: The system rejects the service request. Retry the request later. Before retrying the request, the resource manager must reset its RRS exit routine information and begin restart processing with RRS.

F06
ATR_WAS_NOT_AVAILABLE

Meaning: RRS was available to the resource manager, but went down and came back up again.

A commit or backout operation may or may not have been in progress for the context under which the Set_Work_Identifier was done at the time of the RRS failure. A new unit of recovery can not be created until the current unit of recovery is completed.

Action: The system rejects the service request. Restart your resource manager, making sure to reset the resource manager's exit routines with RRS.

The resource manager must inform the application that one of the following actions must be taken to complete the current unit of recovery:
  • If a commit or backout request was not active at the time of the RRS failure, a commit or backout must be requested before a new unit of recovery can begin.
  • If a commit or backout request was active at the time of the RRS failure, the context must be ended, via the CTXENDC service, before a new unit of recovery can begin.

FFF
ATR_UNEXPECTED_ERROR

Meaning: System error. The service that was called encountered an unexpected error. The system rejects the service call.

Action: Search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM Support Center.

Example

⋮
URI_TOKEN = UR_INTEREST_TOKEN
SET_OPT = ATR_CURRENT
UWID_TYPE = ATR_LUWID
LUWID_LEN = 26
LUWID = LUWID_1
