If MHP terminates abnormally, the receive message of MHP that terminated abnormally can be re-scheduled at the beginning of the schedule queue by shutting down the scheduling of the service group automatically. However, the receive message of MHP cannot be re-queued at full recovery.

In the application attribute definition, specify the following:

mcfaalcap  -g srvghold  = s
              recvmsg   = r
           -d holdlimit = 1

The handling of the message of the abnormally terminated MHP differs depending on the specification of the service group automatic shutdown. The following table shows the message handling at abnormal termination.

Table 3-1 Message handling at abnormal termination
