<h1 class="topictitle1">Commit notify object</h1>
<div><p>A <dfn class="term">notify object</dfn> is a message queue, data area, or
database file that contains information identifying the last successful transaction
completed for a particular commitment definition if that commitment definition
did not end normally.</p>
<p>The information used to identify the last successful transaction for a
commitment definition is given by the <dfn class="term">commit identification</dfn> that
associates a commit operation with a specific set of committable resource
changes.</p>
<p>The commit identification of the last successful transaction for a commitment
definition is placed in the notify object only if the commitment definition
does not end normally. This information can be used to help determine where
processing for an application ended so that the application can be started
again.</p>
<p>For independent disk pools, the notify object must reside on the same independent
disk pool or independent disk pool group as the commitment definition. If
you move the commitment definition to another independent disk pool or independent
disk pool group, the notify object must also reside on that other independent
disk pool or independent disk pool group. The notify object on the other independent
disk pool or independent disk pool group is updated if the commitment definition
ends abnormally. If the notify object is not found on the other independent
disk pool or independent disk pool group, the update fails with message CPF8358.</p>
<p>If journaled resources participate in the current transaction and a commit
operation is performed with a commit identification, the commit identification
is placed in the commit journal entry (journal code and entry type of C CM)
that identifies that particular transaction as being committed. A commit journal
entry containing the commit identification is sent to each journal associated
with resources that participated in the transaction.</p>
<p>The following table shows how you specify the commit identification and
its maximum size. If the commit identification exceeds its maximum size, it
is truncated when it is written to the notify object.</p>

</div>
<p>When a notify object is updated with the commit identification, it is updated
as follows:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Database file</dt>
<dd>If a database file is used as the notify object, the commit identification
is added to the end of the file. Any existing records will be left in the
file. Because several users or jobs can be changing records at the same time,
each commit identification in the file contains unique information to associate
the data with the job and commitment definition that failed. The file that
serves can be journaled</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Data area</dt>
<dd>If a data area is used as the notify object, the entire content of the
data area is replaced when the commit identification is placed in the data
area. If more than one user or job is using the same program, only the commit
identification from the last commitment definition that did not end normally
will be in the data area. Consequently, a single data area notify object might
not produce the correct information for starting the application programs
again. To solve this problem, use a separate data area for each commitment
definition for each workstation user or job.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Message queue</dt>
<dd>If a message queue is used as a notify object, message CPI8399 is sent
to the message queue. The commit identification is placed in the second-level
text for message CPI8399. As with using a database file for the notify object,
the contents of each commit identification uniquely identify a particular
commitment definition for a job so that an application program can be started
again.</dd>
