Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
This requirement has been evaluated. Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next two CICS TS releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.
First of all. Thanks a lot for your update. PMR 85219,227,631 is available in the
PSdb (Post-Sale database):

85219227631-20091204.
Indeed, customer would like to be able to define a region as "Related scope value" which may be member of a CSYSGRP defined as "Target scope value".
This request was also submitted because it "has been identified as something that is of particular interest to the CICS TS development team" (it was already addressed as a FITS request - MR0106101747) as detailed in the email attached to this request.
Apologies but for some reason, I cannot find the associated PMR in RETAIN now so I apologise in advance if you have already covered this in the PMR.
Thinking about this some more, this is actually working as originally designed. When you say:
From their understanding of the documentation, this should work, and install the resource definition as a 'remote' definition in all the CICS regions except the one(s) specified in the 'Related scope', where it will be installed as a local resource.
this will work provided the regions do not overlap. I presume that the reason why you do have overlapping regions is to minimise on the number of CSYSGRP definitions ? Is it possible for you to define a different CSYSGRP that does not contain region CICSAOR1 ? Though, I realise that this would require you to define a different CSYSGRP that excludes every region that you might want tp specify in the 'Related scope value' field.
