TimeBoxing BAQCSTUB in IMS transactions

IMS transactions have high performance with very short process time measured in milliseconds. When they are enhanced to make outbound API calls using BAQCSTUB, they are subjected to latency from the network and the API providers. Currently, parameter BAQTIMEOUT controls how much tolerance IMS has on the API Providers. However, there is no limit on other network latency such as DNS lookup time. The customer requests the total time spent in BAQCSTUB be timeboxed to ensure IMS gets back control within the specified time.

    Thank you for this RFE.

    The BAQCSTUB and TCP/IP settings already have configuration to limit the amount of time a request will take when calling to z/OS Connect EE and getting network related information. These configuration parameters can be tuned to ensure that a request only waits for the specified time.

    This is the extent of the timeout control made available to BAQCSTUB as a user of the z/OS Web Enablement Toolkit. As such, timeouts of the granularity you are describing here are beyond the scope and control of z/OS Connect EE in this case.

    If greater granularity is required for an individual request or address space then this will need to be raised with the z/OS Web Enablement Toolkit for them to investigate and make available to consumers such as z/OS Connect EE.
