RFE for Pipeline PRVIDENH corrupted; possible HFS access conflict issue

Overview of the issue :

The pipeline is getting disabled when there is a problem copying the configuration file from the HFS directory. (Please refer to the PMR "82719 122 000 " for more details).

Enhancement :

As suggested per the PMR, we would like to go for the enhancement request to repair the pipelines when rendered unusable by DFHPI0705 and DFHPI0709 situations. This enhancement should allow us to have CICS retry the HFS by a way of simple CEMT (which would be Automation-friendly ) commands ". Please enhance the process for the CICS to handle such issues so that an RDO re-install will not be the only solution. CEMT commands are much easier to craft automation for.

    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12-24 months and so it 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.

    This problem can be avoided with CICS TS 5.2 if the pipeline and webservice were deployed as part of a bundle, as the existence of a shelf is not mandatory with bundle install of these resources. It is a candidate for a future release to make specification of a shelf directory optional for RDO defined resources.
