Process data-containers

Stabilized feature: Service Flow Runtime and Service Flow Modeler capability in IBM Developer for z/OS 14.2.3 are stabilized. Consider exposing and orchestrating applications as API services by using z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition or CICS® web services, or by writing web applications in Java or Node.js. See also Stabilization notices and discontinued functions.

A process data-container is associated with the root activity of the BTS process. The CICS SFR interface program DFHMADPL creates the BTS process to invoke a deployed service flow. All the activities that are part of the BTS process can read process data-containers, but only DFHMADPL can write to and update them.

The following table lists the process data-containers.
