Specifies the name of the recovery account used for the commit-confirm transaction model. An account with user name and password must be set up at the non-Oracle system. For more information about the commit-confirm model, see the HS_TRANSACTION_MODEL parameter.

For DRDA, HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT specifies the user ID that is used by the gateway if a distributed transaction becomes in doubt. This user ID must have execute privileges on the package and must be defined to the IBM database.

If a distributed transaction becomes in doubt, then the Oracle database determines the status of the transaction by connecting to the IBM database, using the HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT. If this parameter is missing, then the gateway attempts to connect to a user ID of ORARECOV.

The name of the recovery account is case-sensitive.
