Exit XXDTO

Exit XXDTO is invoked by an alternate CICS® when it performs takeover.

When invoked
By an alternate CICS when it performs takeover under the following conditions:
  • The active and alternate CICS systems are in different MVS™ images, perhaps in different processors.
  • The active CICS was connected to, or trying to connect to, a DBCTL subsystem. (This does not include disconnecting from one DBCTL and reconnecting to another.)
  • The takeover was not initiated by the XXDFB exit, or the takeover was initiated by XXDFB but the active system reestablished a DBCTL connection before takeover occurred and XXDTO was driven for a new DBCTL takeover decision.
