Managing connection definitions

For members of a generic resource, the connection definition is the only way (using the INQUIRE and SET CONNECTION RECOVSTATUS commands) of safely managing lognames and affinities.

Connections can be discarded only if their recovery status (RECOVSTATUS) is NORECOVDATA. You can use the SET CONNECTION RECOVSTATUS command to set a connection's recovery status to NORECOVDATA if neither the local system nor the partner has any indoubt units of work dependent on the other. A simple and safe test is that neither system's connection to the other should have a status of RECOVSTATUS(RECOVDATA). If this test succeeds, you can issue SET CONNECTION NORECOVDATA on both, and SET CONNECTION ENDAFFINITY on the generic resource members.
