    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.

    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.
