RFE to create TIMEOUT parameter in CICS for calls out to z/OS Connect

Provide a ‘TIMEOUT’ parameter within CICS for calls from CICS out to z/OS Connect. The CICS regions in our environment that call out to z/OS Connect are high volume, multi-application regions that are used to sub-second response times. Calls out t...

CPSM - Must be able to recover isolated CMAS without restarting address spaces

Currently, whenever a CMAS becomes isolated for whatever reason it is not possible to restore ("un-isolate") the CMAS without restarting one or more address spaces. Similar situations occur whenever a CMAS/CMAS link (MRO) fails for any reason. Rec...

Prevent needless retry processing in CPSM when a route fails to a clone region

Record CICSPlex SM WLM routing decision to CICS SMF for post processing

Allow more flexibility in the location of DFHAPIR

As currently designed, DFHAPIR can only be found as a single member name in a z/OS PARMLIB list. As CICS systems programmers, we normally don't have access to z/OS libraries so making changes requires change requests and possibly days between upda...
