Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Status Not under consideration

Starting a transaction should not close an open rowset.

See the PMR for details. This restriction:

- When a local transaction scope ends, either at the method level or
the activity session level, all statements and result sets for shareable
connections are closed.

Which is from:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/ae/rdat_cursorhold.html?lang=en

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/ae/cdat_conshrnon.html?lang=en

- Is too restrictive. The current behavior is not desired, because the transaction should not side-effect activities taking place outside its temporal scope on connections which play no part in the transaction.

JBoss and WebLogic do not have the issue (a failure as in the PMR), using the same code.

The workaround of using unshared connections is not acceptable because our product supports very high concurrency and reducing connection usage is very important to our customers. Recent large changes to our product (our data source sharing feature) were recently implemented to help reduce connection usage.

    Thank you for the suggestion. The requirement does have merit, but looking at it with respect to our total backlog of requests we do not see sufficient interest in this enhancement to merit delivery any time in the foreseeable future. Given the unlikelihood that we would deliver this, we are declining the request rather than leaving it in an uncommitted state for an extended period of time. If you would like to discuss this decision further, please contact Graham Charters <charters@uk.ibm.com>.
