Machine ID	Process	Instance	Value
0	BG	0	0

Notes

If the value of the MAINCASE_START_AUTOCOMMIT attribute is set to 1 or 2, all main cases run the Transaction Control step as the first step of the procedure before processing the predefined first step of the procedure. The meaning of each type of the Transaction Control step are listed as follows:

•

Commit and Continue allows you to commit the current transaction and start a new transaction for subsequent steps using the same Background process. The advantage of this option is that it is faster, since it uses the previous process to start the new transaction.

•

Commit and Concede allows you to commit the current transaction and start a new transaction for subsequent steps using a different Background process. It uses a different Background process to start the second transaction. The advantage of this option is that it enables load balancing.
