SOURCECONN vs ORIGSOURCECONN

[John Boyles]

Hi all,

I have a need to do a little custom parsing of the SMAT files.  In the .idx files, can anyone tell me the difference between the two “SOURCECONN” entries?  Same question for the two “DESTCONN” entries.  They seem to typically contain the same value and it’s starting to bug me.   😕

Thanks in advance!

       {SOURCECONN i_clnt_int}

       {ORIGSOURCECONN i_clnt_int}

       {DESTCONN {{}}}

       {ORIGDESTCONN {{}}}

The only difference that I know of is that ORIGSOURCECONN and ORIGDESTCONN are “read only” metadata fields and are managed exclusively by the engine.   Those two fields cannot be changed or modified.

The SOURCECONN and DESTCONN metadata fields can be changed.  My best guess is in the following scenario where one thread sends to another thread that then sends the message to the third thread.  

Thread 1 —->  Thread 2

---

Thread 3

In this scenario, it would seem that Thread 1 would become the ORIGSOURCECONN and Thread 2 at some point would become the SOURCECONN for Thread 3.    I could be wrong…there is a precedence for it…LOL

Hope this answers your question….
