The Concurrent Action Processing (CAP) feature can now process multiple Types concurrently. This enhancement improves processing speed for CAP. The administrator enables this function in the Global Type Sequencing member. The order of the Type records in the Type Sequence member represents the Type processing sequence. When the new optional Category clause is added to Type records, CAP can simultaneously process Types of the same Category.
To enable this enhancement, the administrator must create a new Type sequence member or edit their existing member to include the new grouping category. The Type record syntax with the optional Category clause is shown next:
TYPe ‘Type-name’ [SYStem ‘system-name’] [CATegory ‘category-value’] DESCription ‘Sample Type Description’.
(Optional) Specifies a one- to eight-character alphanumeric name for a Type group. Enclosing the category-value in single quotes is required. During Concurrent Action Processing (CAP) dispatch, if Category was specified, the Category value is compared to the previous request. If the Category values match, the action is dispatched and processed simultaneously with the previous request.
The Category value does not affect how the request chains are built or sorted, nor does it affect normal processing order. This parameter simply enables the next Type in the sequence to start processing before the prior Type in the sequence finishes, provided both requests are in the same Category group. If the Category clause is omitted, the Type is still processed in order.
The value is converted to uppercase characters. If CAP is not enabled, the Category clause has no effect.
Note: The Type grouping capability affects processing only when CAP is in effect; it has no effect on Global Type Sequencing itself. Global Type Sequencing alone simply uses the Type processing order defined in the Type Sequencing member, but does not cause the simultaneous processing of actions.
Note: The Description keyword can be entered as DESCRIPTION. Previously, it could only be entered as DESC.
