TX Use            (PPT)

DESCRIPTION
"TX Use" indicates the status of an application program with respect to a
Transaction Server.


VALUES
The "TX Use" can have the following values:
   0 - the program is not loaded in shared memory and has never executed

   1 - the program has been loaded in shared memory, but no Transaction Server 
       is using it

   n - the program is loaded in shared memory and n-1 Transaction Servers are 
       currently executing it


INTERPRETATION
A "TX Use" of 1 means that at least one Transaction Server has loaded the 
program. A program is loaded by every Transaction Server that requests it. The 
number of Transaction Servers that have requested an application program is 
"TX Use" minus one.


CONCLUSIONS
The "TX Use" stays at 1 if a single Transaction Server has loaded the 
program and that Server aborts. The reason is that the working storage of the
program is still in shared memory.
