DEFINE _XOPENCOMPAT

Defines the attributes of XA compatible resources (external resource managers).
Keyword Description
_Xopencompat(name) Specifies the key of an X/Open or XA resource manager record. Mandatory.

Name can be up to eight characters in length. Acceptable characters are A through Z, 0 through 9, $, @ and #.

Group(groupname) Names the group the XA definition belongs to. Mandatory.

Groupname can be up to eight characters in length. Acceptable characters are A through Z, 0 through 9, $, @ and #. Do not specify a group name starting with DFH, as Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS) uses that prefix for system groups.

Description(text) Describes the XA record. Optional.

Text can be up to 60 characters in length, with no restrictions except that if you use a left parenthesis you must ensure that there is a matching right parenthesis.

_Openstring (string) Specifies the string that is passed to the resource manager on the xa_open() call.

An entry in this field usually contains at least the database name, and the user ID and password for connecting to the database.

Where the resource manager supports dynamic registration, and the database vendor requires the name of the module that provides the ax_reg function, you should specify casaxlib. Use of open and close strings is mutually exclusive with DATABASE, USERID and PASSWORD.

Note: The contents of this string are database-specific. For DB2, the contents are documented in IBM's DB2 Administration Guide and Application Programmer's Guide. For Oracle, see the Oracle Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals.
_Closestring(string) Specifies the string that is passed to the resource manager on the xa_close() call. To find out whether or not you need to supply Close string, see your database vendor's documentation.
_Database(name) Specifies the name by which the resource manager is known.
_Userid(user) Specifies a resource manager ID, which is used internally to identify a particular XA configuration. This must be unique within the system.
_Password(password) Specifies the password required for the User ID.
_SWitchmod(path) Specifies the location of the executable file (DLL) that contains the entry point that returns the xa_switch_t structure to the system.
_Runtime(None | Db2 | Oracle | Sybase | User) Specifies an external resource manager that the server needs to communicate with on behalf of container-managed applications.

Default is None.

_SUpportmod(name) If you specified USER in RUNTIME, specify the name of the module that supplies the run-time support for the database calls made by the application.
