    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Enterprise Tooling
    Product - CICS Configuration Manager

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - WebSphere
    Product family - Enterprise Tooling

    This enhancement might not have "been requested by any other CICS CM customer", but you might have more CM customers if this were available.....
