INQUIRE DFHTRANSACTION Threadsafe,

We are trying to cut back on TCB Swaps; I notice INQUIRE DFHTRANSACTION to do TCB swap; was wondering if this could be made THREADSAFE? There is a trace entry of TRANSFORMER; not sure what that is....

See trace snippit:

    CICS Development: The trace fragment shown is not INQUIRE DFHTRANSACTION. Transformer 3 is shown. The transformers are part of the processing of function shipped requests, in this case it is preparing to send Channels and Containers data back to the calling region.

    Function shipping across MRO connections is not threadsafe. Function shipping across ipic connections is threadsafe.
