APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a RollbackException, which is caused by a participant of
  a distributed transaction, occurs at the second stage of the
  transaction commitment, the SCA transaction handler considers
  the situation like a non-synchronized state of the distributed
  transaction and continues without throwing any exception
  although you expect to see the ServiceRuntimeException.
