  ****************************************************************
  A CICS Transaction Gateway Java application starts an extended
  conversation using an IPIC connection. The transaction enters an
  in doubt state and CICS Transaction Gateway loses contact with
  the client.
  CICS Transaction Gateway attempts to send a shunt request to
  CICS to shunt the unit of work for the CICS transaction.
  This shunt request is not recognized by CICS and an ABEND ASP1
  gets issued.
  
  ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS :- ABENDASP1
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHISUOW has been changed to detect a shunt request from CICS
  Transaction Gateway as part of an FMH7.
  DFHISRE has been changed to return the appropriate sense code
  to CICS Transaction Gateway when CICS receives a commit flow
  for an unknown unit of work.
