Open CICS - TCPIPS automatically after a TCP/IP restart

CICS - TCPIPS goes to closed state if any outage in TCP/IP, but it does not open automatically when the TCP/IP is back.

We have to manually open the TCPIPS in CICS using CEMT.

Can the CICS-TCPIPS set to open state as automatic when the TCPIP is restarted like we have automatic connection enablement for MQ, DB2 when it restarted.?

    CICS opens TCPIPSERVICE automatically after a TCP/IP restart. Available with z/OS 2.5 and higher, ENF event code 80 signals when a TCP/IP stack and its extended services have been fully initialized. CICS can now respond to ENF 80 events and automatically set the TCPIPSERVICE status back to OPEN if it was set to CLOSED as a result of an outage of TCP/IP. Support is provided in CICS TS 6.2 which has been announced and will GA June 14th 2024.
