Using unique user ids to enhance Link3270 server adapter processing

Implementing unique user ids allows for additional capabilities with regards to Link3270 server adapter processing to back-end applications within MQSI Agent for CICS® version 1.1.3. With unique user ids, CICS Service Flow Runtime Link3270 bridge facilities (and associated session state data) can be used in one request, left assigned to the unique user id, and reused in subsequent request processing.

The application may be left in-transaction at a particular screen as modeled.

Note: CICS Service Flow Runtime V3.1 Link3270 server adapter processing provides the benefit described above but does not require the use of unique user ids to achieve that benefit. CICS Service Flow Runtime V3.1 Link3270 server adapter business state data management is performed differently than in MQSI Agent for CICS version 1.1.3. See Managing state information.
