This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

This requirement has been re-evaluated. Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the twelve months, 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.
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 is a candidate for a future release.
Customer want to set the type of transport decision for all work over a particular connection. They are asking to be able to define which type of connection will have the precedence (MRO/ISC or IPIC), and in case of the connection be broken, the second type of transport would assume / continue the work.
The RFE implies that you are looking for a mechanism to control work that flows either over IPIC or MRO/APPC, when there are both connection types between regions. Currently CICS always forces the work over IPIC unless the associated IPCONN is released.
Are you looking for a mechanism that selects the transport type on a task by task basis, such as via a routing exit, or just want to be able to set the routing decision for all work over a particular connection ? Or if something else, please specify.
