IBM Z Software
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).
Shape the future of IBM!
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:
Search existing ideas
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 your ideas
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.Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months, or in the next CICS TS release. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
We have recently used the program Autoinstall Exit URM to define all application programs in some of our more heavily used AORs as Concurrency Threadsafe, following extensive analysis to ensure that the programs are Threadsafe from an application perspective. As there is very little use of non-Threadsafe CICS API commands in these regions, this has had the effect of a significant shift of workload from the QR to the OTE L8 TCBs as well as some reduction in MIPS. However, these AORs, route work to special purpose AORs and many transactions make multiple DPL calls to programs in these special purpose regions. As EYU9XLOP is not Threadsafe it results in a switch to the QR TCB every time a DPL Call is made so inevitably some workload shifts back to the QR TCB until the next DB2 call/MQ call is made. As EYU9XLOP is the last barrier as it were for full exploitation of OTE, or at least it will be when IPIC reaches a level of performance that makes it a true competitor to MRO/XCF, I would call upon IBM to address this issue as soon as possible.
