The Affinity Manager uses these definitions to direct the request to any datastore that is capable of processing the transaction. Affinities are optional and should be active only when necessary. Affinities can be defined for the following items in an input message:

  • IMS Transaction Code
  • IMS Connect Client
  • Datastore (destination)
  • RACF (or equivalent) User ID
  • RACF (or equivalent) Group ID
  • Message ID
  • TCP/IP Port Number
  • Client IP address

Generic values are allowed for TranCode, client ID, DataStore, user ID, group ID, and IP address.

Warning

Important

All affinities must have an assigned destination or list of destinations. Use the Energizer Destinations field for affinities to specify datastore destinations.

For more information about the fields that are available for defining affinities, see Fields-and-processing-options.
