DFHLS2WS and modification of Xshareclasses name parameter.

When more than one group use DFHLS2WS, the second (and the following ones) get this messages:
JVMSHRC022E Error creating shared memory region
JVMSHRC336E Port layer error code = -459352
JVMSHRC337E Platform error message: shmctl : EDC5111I Permission denied.
JVMSHRC028E Permission Denied

To avoid this messages, we
modify the name of Xshareclasses including the group name.

The new feature would be to set the Xshareclasses name with the group name added by default.

    This requirement is satisfied by CICS TS 5.2 which is generally available from June 13th 2014.
    The CICS assistants use the following command:

    java -Xmx230M -Xshareclasses:name=cicsAssistants_%G,nonfatal,groupAccess

    which causes the name of the cache to be customized for the current group id. This makes it much less likely that errors will occur, as each user is more likely to have a cache of their own.
