Receiving big files from a HTTP POST request into CICS in smaller chunks

Customer thinks that would be a great idea to be able to receive big files from a HTTP POST request into CICS; now the customer has the EDSA limit where they have to allocate the storage required to save the whole HTTP request (if the file being sent is 500 MB, we need that storage available in the EDSA). The customer wants to know if it would be possible to truncate that request (as we do when CICS pass the data to the customer programs) to receive the data in smaller chunks or to store it in a container (that we can put above the 2GB limit). The customer knows thar 250M files being sent up to CICS is quite unusual. Look at PMR 91496,100,838.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:

    Product family - Transaction Processing
    Product - CICS Transaction Server

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - WebSphere

    This is addressed by CICS TS 5.1 which allows use of CONTAINERs on the web api.
