The major implications for your application recovery by resetting the Reapplycompleted/Independenttrans property is as follows. These effects are cumulative:
It is unlikely that all completed DMS II transactions are recovered in the event of a database abort.
Any Report or COMSTP program failing in DMS II transaction state for any reason causes the database to abort and roll back.
Additionally, the associated loss of the KEYCHANGEOK option for the DASDL sets or subsets means that any user-defined Profile specified with NO DUPLICATES will not recover a DELETE and Add of any record that has had its key changed.
The use of Extended Report Recovery is prohibited.
Report recovery is from the most recent DMS II SYNCPOINT. This might result in the reprocessing of external Automatic Entries, or of the extract file. In this situation, Critical Point recovery is essential for such Reports. Using Critical Points, recovery to the point-of-failure is more likely, though it is not guaranteed.
