CMCI to allow multiple connections

We have 50 CICS regions in our system, and we do not have CICSPlex installed. There is no demand for CICSPlex. Hence, I use CMCI in CICS Explorer to connect to each CICS region individually.
.
This RFE is to allow more than one CMCI connection (at least 50) to make it easier to swap between CICS regions in CICS Explorer.

    The need for you to connect to 50 regions individually sounds like reason enough to use CPSM, even if you only used it to see all 50 regions in one Explorer View. You could do operations at the Plex level or set the scope to a single region via a single CICS Explorer connection. The configuration required to set up CPSM has been greatly simplifed over the past few releases and is not onerous. More and more function being put into CICS requires use of CPSM, so moving forward embracing CPSM is the strategic way forward.

    This requirement is being rejected as the functionality required is provided byusing Explorer and CPSM.
