Enable support for definition of transaction to CICSPlex/SM transaction group, & installation into active workload

CICS CM allows for the addition of CICS resource definitions to either a CSD or BAS repository. However, CPSM definitions such as WLMSPEC, WLMGROUP, WLMDEF and TRANGRPs cannot be made through CICS CM.
Application Developers currently utilize CM to define resources whilst the CICS team has to undertake a separate task to define/install the transaction group into the active workload.
We would like to extend the functionality within CM to enable the Application Developers to also be able to maintain all the WLM definitions, or at least the transaction group in the active workload.

    As I have had no response to my request for additional information, I am closing this RFE.
    I hope the information I provided has satisfied this requirement. Please re-submit if you need further clarification. Thank you.

    Please note that CICS Configuration Manager does support create, update and delete for CICSPlex SM objects such as WLMSPEC, WLMGROUP, WLMDEF, TRANGRPs etc. The complete list of CSD and CPSM objects supported by CICS CM are listed in the Knowledge Center: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS2L7A_5.4.0/com.ibm.cics.cm.doc/ccv-api-obj-cics.html

    To work with CPSM WLM objects from the CICS CM ISPF interface, select Option 2 CICS Resources from the Main Menu. Then, next to the configuration that is defined for a CICSPlex SM data repository, type in W to work with WLM resources
    or T for CICSPlex SM Topology objects. Please note that you will need to first define a CICS CM configuration for the CICSPlex SM repository. To do this, use Option 1, Administration from the ISPF Main Menu and then Option 2, Configurations. Type Def on the command line and provide a name for the configuration, such as CPSMRES. On the next panel, specify Option 1, CICSPlex SM Context and the name of the CICSPlex SM plex.

    Please confirm you are able to work with the CICSPlex SM objects listed in the link above and I will close this RFE.
