I have recently deployed a new transaction to a CICSPlex environment (2 regions) and my transaction is configured to trigger on the 1st message on a shared queue. What i am observing, is that the transaction is started in BOTH regions when a single message hits the queue. The transaction is coded to handle that and just exit on a 2033, but i did not expect that behavior. I thought some mechanism might use a round robin or other algorithm to determine which region to start the transaction.

Any thoughts?

You thought wrong I'm afraid

A triggered shared queue can generate more than one trigger message for a satisfied trigger condition. There is one trigger message generated for each local initiation queue defined on a queue manager in the queue-sharing group associated with the triggered shared queue.

If you want message distribution you need a cluster.

As the prior post point out, a trigger message is created for each initiation queue/trigger monitor currently active. This allows for the fastest image to get the triggered application running to consume the message.

This is refered to as pull-based workload management or something like that. This method is simple, yet elegant.
