CICS Environment Protection

As previously discussed, we're not able to fully exploit CICS/CPSM dynamic routing capabilities because of one fundamental flaw (as we see it): CICS/CPSM will continue to commit workload to AORs whilst all appears well - sessions are free; CICS re...

Java DFHSJ0207 Message
