IBM DB2 Error Message

-925 commit not valid in ims/vs or cics environment

Reason for the Error

An application executing in either an IMS or CICS environment when DB2 is not the only resource manager has attempted to execute a COMMIT statement. The SQL COMMIT statement cannot be executed in these environments.

Solution

The IMS or CICS protocols should be used to commit work in these environments.

If a stored procedure is being called from IMS or CICS, ensure that the stored procedure is not defined to perform a commit on return.
