Put the JVMServer into the CSD CICS BUNDLE definition

We would like the ability to specifiy the JVMServer in the CICS BUNDLE definition in the CSD rather then having it required in the CICS Bundle on the ZFS file system. This would be used if no JVM Server was specified in the osgibundle file that is part of the CICS Bundle on the ZFS file system.

    The suggested implementation would require similar changes to BUNDDEF for CPSM BAS as well as changes to CSD and CEDA. This does not fit with our CICS bundle strategy for Java. The best advice would be to use a single JVM server in each Region. A problem remains where the JVM server name is different in DEV, TEST and PROD. Please see JVM server category - Dynamic Deployment (80854).

    I recieved and email that asked for mor information yet I am not sure what you want. This is a pretty striaght forward request. We would like to be able to put in a JVMServer name in the CSD Bundle definition and that would then when installed run the bundle in the specified JVM. This would then override the JVMServer name in the .osgibundle file.

    example <<<< if this could be optional and then if not specified it could be picked up from the CSD bundle definition that is installing this.
