Transaction schedulers need to provide the following user exit
routines to perform certain functions.
- XCF message user routine
Each transaction scheduler must provide
an XCF message user routine to obtain information about general APPC/MVS
events and to receive inbound allocate requests that are directed
to the scheduler.
- Extract exit
Transaction schedulers must supply an extract
exit routine if they:
- Call the ATBEXAI service to extract information about their scheduling
- Run more than one transaction program in their address space simultaneously,
and one of the TPs issues an Allocate, Get_TP_Properties, or Get_Conversation
request.
- TP profile conversion exit
Schedulers can provide an exit routine
to convert a TP profile on its first reference and store the converted
form of the profile for future reference, thus avoiding repeated conversion
and potentially improving performance.
- TP profile syntax exit and message routine
Schedulers can provide
an exit routine to check the syntax of scheduler-specific information
before it is added to the TP profile. An associated message routine
can issue messages about syntax errors to the SYSPRINT data set.
