Specifying an acknowledgment timeout interval at the OTMA client level

You can specify a timeout interval in the following places:

• The T/O= parameter of the OTMA client descriptor
• The TIMEOUT parameter of the /START TMEMBER command
• The 1–byte field at offset 65 (X'41') of the state data in the client-bid request from the OTMA client

For commit-then-send transactions, you can specify the name of a timeout queue by:

• Specifying X'04' at byte offset 45 (X'2D') in the client-bid request
• Specifying the 8-byte character name of the timeout queue at byte offset 66 (X'42').

If no timeout queue name is specified, CM0 output that times out is routed to the default timeout queue DFS$$TOQ.

When transaction messages that are destined for a remote IMS system time out, OTMA reroutes them to the DFS$$TOQ.
