NEXTLOCATION

NEXTLOCATION is a CA Gen text attribute designed to assist the process of transaction routing by providing the Directory Services user exit with a value that can be used to identifying a target server name.

This attribute is set by a client application in a CA Gen procedure action diagram (PrAD) with a SET NEXTLOCATION statement. The attribute has a maximum size of 1000 character bytes. This size allows the flexibility to provide data that is adequate for Directory Services to identify a specific server name based on the NEXTLOCATION value.

The setting of this attribute to a meaningful value is especially critical in an environment where the same transaction resides on multiple servers (multi-server transaction environment).

Note: For NEXTLOCATION to have a meaningful role in the transaction routing process, the Client Manager Directory Services user exit must be enabled.
