Limitations and guidelines

There are other limitations and guidelines for metadata fields:

  • Thread names that are used with the SOURCECONN and DESTCONN metadata fields cannot be longer than 64 characters.
  • The DESTCONN metadata field can accept any number of legal thread names. The SOURCECONN field accepts only one.
  • Legal PRIORITY values that can be set are between 4096 and 8192, inclusive.
  • The USERDATA field is not used by the system at all. Use this field for anything you require. For example, passing control data between TPS procedures.
