From time to time one or more components of Adabas Transaction Manager may suffer transient outage. The client runtime control Continuous operation mode defines the level of tolerance to be adopted in these circumstances. The default behavior is to avoid disruption and allowing as much uninterrupted continuous operation as possible. However some companies may choose to disallow (reject with an error) distributed transactions during outage by altering the tolerance level for continuous operation for some or all clients.
The default mode (FORCE) allows Adabas Transaction Manager to temporarily
generate series of ET
commands instead of performing
full DTP coordination until the outage ends. When the outage is over then full
DTP coordination resumes automatically (on the next new transaction for each
client session).
