Make CICS Time-of-Day Viewable in CICS Explorer and the CPSM WUI for each CICS TS address space

In supporting a large environment (500+ CICS regions) running at different CICS Time-of-Day, it would be very valuable to be able to view the CICS Time-of-Day in CICS Explorer or the CPSM WUI.

TICTOC is used to alter the time of day for some regions. Currently, TICTOC does not support CICS AUTORESETTIME=IMMEDIATE. With AUTORESETTIME=YES, we must take action for time changes.

I was able to see the date/time that the 'Last reset time' in CICS Explorer, which was somewhat helpful.

However, there was no way to verify the CICS time-of-day clock in CICS Explorer or the WUI. For that, I have to look at the syslog (or CICS output) for each and every region to find the DFHIC0801 message. This takes a lot of time when you have large numbers of regions.

It would be very helpful to be able to view the CICS Time-of-Day in CICS Explorer and the CPSM WUI.
