CPSM: Perioddef should include selection of weekdays

When defining a CPSM perioddef for RTA- or WLM-def. in WUI or in Batch, it would be very helpful, to have the possibility of selecting not only the time from/to but also the days from monday to sunday.
Especially on saturday and sunday we don't want to have an active RTA-definition to control SNA CICS-Links to external partners, when they have no service-time.

    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

    Customer might be able to try using a RTA status probe. They can start a user task to inquire on a status that may be specific to an application. They then return a status which can cause an RTA event.

    In which case, the status probe would have to manually monitor the connections on a specified interval. As part of this monitoring the status probe would determine the day and return OK for Saturday and Sunday.

    Any hope to reconsider the reject ?
    This function is required by one major customer in France; The context is CICS unavailability alerts (from RTA) when it is a normal situation for these CICS to be stopped. Thank's.
