Selects URT for Executing Application

In the CA Datacom/DB environment, it is the URT associated with the program that communicates all program-specific information to CA Datacom/DB, such as the following:

• With which MUF (in a multiple MUFs environment) requests using this URT are processed
• Which tables the application can access and update
• Whether transaction backout is made available for any abending update transactions to the listed tables
• The relative priority within the MUF for the program-issued requests

CA Datacom/DB requires every executing program to be associated with a URT. In batch, you determine which URT a given program is to use. Under CICS, CA Datacom CICS Services handles the association of a URT with your application program for you. You define several URTs from which CA Datacom CICS Services makes a selection at execution time, depending on the database and table in which the requested data resides, and optionally (in a multiple MUFs environment) which MUF is to process the request.
