Thread selection attributes

Describes the attributes of the DB2ENTRY resource that relate to thread selection.

TRANSID(transaction)

Specifies the transaction id associated with the entry. Only one transaction can be specified here. However, the use of one or more wildcard characters in the TRANSID (see Wildcard characters for transaction IDs) allows a group of transactions to be represented. Additional transactions can be defined for this DB2ENTRY by defining a DB2TRAN that refers to this DB2ENTRY. Transid is optional on a DB2ENTRY. All transactions can be associated with a DB2ENTRY by means of DB2TRAN definition instead. However, if only one transaction is associated with a DB2ENTRY, it is easier to specify it on the DB2ENTRY.

Note: Specifying a transaction id here causes an implicit DB2TRAN object to be created when the DB2ENTRY definition is installed. The implicit DBTRAN will have a name DFH concatenated with the transaction id specified. These implicit DB2TRANs will appear on CICS® and CICSPlex® SM views of DB2TRAN resources. If a DB2ENTRY is altered to specify a different transid, when the DB2ENTRY is reinstalled the previous implicit DB2TRAN will be deleted and a new implicit DB2TRAN created representing the new transid associated with the DB2ENTRY.
