Description

Resolution:
Currently for Publication service, AS400 adapter does not support load balance. We can not use two AS400 adapter instance to listen to one DTAQ.This is because there is no sync mechanism in the DTAQ. AS400 adapter first checks whether there is a message in the DTAQ. If yes, then it will read it and then delete it. Since there is no sync between AS400 instances,  two AS400 adapter instances may read the same message which causes duplicate message getting published.
