Disable Priority Ageing by Transaction

Priority Ageing is enabled or disabled at a system level by use of a SIT parameter. This is of little use as priority ageing may be applicable to some but not all transactions.

Permit CMAS's to interoperate using TCP/IP

CMAS to CMAS links currently have to be defined using VTAM when connecting multiple CICSPlexes together. We want to be able to remove the dependency on VTAM and instead use an IP network.
