Liberty Profile applicaiton activation at once

We have the following lines in the server.xml:

<config monitorInterval="5s" updateTrigger="polled"/>
<applicationMonitor dropins="dropins" dropinsEnabled="false" pollingRate="5s" updateTrigger="disabled"/>

1) As we are using the application/platform concept, the activation of the applications is not in sync with the activation of the war file in liberty.
2) The scan of the app directory costs resources which is not needed

We activate the applications over the CMCI Interface and so for us this is the one and only and immediate action which activates an application. There is no scanning and other actions needed. This meens we want to turn off the scanning intervall completely and handle the controle 100% to the CPSM CMCI Interface.

    This RFE is satisfied by CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V5.6 which is Generally Available today 12th June 2020.

    The first step to meeting this RFE was to install Liberty applications via CICS bundle and have the enable-status of the CICS bundle accurately reflect the status of the applications. That was delivered as part of CICS TS 5.5 Continuous delivery enhancements.

    Secondly in CICS TS 5.6, you can choose to turn off the either (or both) of application polling and config polling. New SPI is available to refresh applications if you make a change to your apps, and new SPI is available to refresh any configuration changes in your server.xml tree. You opt into this behaviour by switching the updateTrigger attribute in server.xml to 'mbean' rather than 'polled' or 'disabled'. CICS bundle enable/disable operations will automatically drive the Mbean calls, so no explicit SPI calls to follow on are required.
