This is a one byte field that indicates whether
or not transactions that will run using the Link3270 bridge mechanism in the
Link3270 server adapter can be routed, either dynamically or as defined on
the transaction install definition. It is not used in
CICS® Service
Flow Runtime V3.1.
This property is supported for compatibility with previous releases only.
Valid values are:
- Y - Yes, transactions can be routed
- N - No, transactions can not be routed
Note: If all the transactions in this Link3270 server adapter are defined
to run in the same CICS region, not necessarily the AOR router region (region
where this Link3270 Navigator will be executing), then this indicator should
be set to 'N' to reduce performance overhead. If you do not know where the
transactions will run, you should set this indicator to 'Y'. Although a
value of 'Y' will increase performance overhead, it will ensure proper Link3270
server adapter execution. See information on
Transaction routing considerations and
Link3270
bridge load balancing in the
CICS External Interfaces Guide.

Configuring the runtime environment to use transaction routing for information on AOR transaction
routing and configuring
CICS Service Flow Runtime for
transaction routing.
