Hi Folks,

In a DB2-CICS program which acts as co-ordinator and which is participant?

Let me see who gives the exact answer. I need the explanation.

iknow,

DB2 is always the participant when interacting with IMS or CICS systems, or WebSphere Application Server. However, DB2 can also serve as the coordinator for other DBMSs or DB2 subsystems in the same unit of work. For example, if DB2 receives a request from a coordinating system that also requires data manipulation on another system, DB2 propagates the unit of work to the other system and serves as the coordinator for that system.
