Need Capability of deploying to more than one target application region from Manage Bundle Deployment

We have Multiple LPARS and Multiple CICS Regions (200+). 

We ar exploring the uses of CICS Managed Bundle Deployment with CICSPLEX.

We need to ability to specify more than one cics application region in the pom.xml document. 

Each LPAR has several environments consitsing of 6 - 3 CICS Regions per application environment. 

When we deploy JAVA bundles we fiest deploy to an A-Level Testing/Development Environment - As development and testing progress 

we deploy to the next level of Testing/developmey environment - SO at times we need the flexibility to deploy JAVA Bundles to Multiple CICS Regions belonging to a test/development environment witout affecting other environments. We also would like to get a target date as to when this eature woud be available.

We need to ability to specify more than one cics application region in the pom.xml document.

    .Thanks for raising this. For the record I do think this is a great request, but we don't have any immediate plans to implement it.

    To offer a little background, our initial focus for the managed bundles API was focused on developer use cases. By that we mean, a single developer making changes to e.g. a Java application, wanting to quickly round-trip on changes to that application, and be able to quickly re-deploy it to their target development environment. In particular we wanted to focus on being able to drive that via Maven and Gradle, which we'd anticipate that Java developer to already be using. We did bear in mind there might be other use-cases around deploying to multiple regions (e.g. there's some kind of dynamic routing at play and developers can't tell where the application might get invoked), so it's great to hear more feedback from you in this area. We did consider multiple region deployment when we designed and implemented this feature, but we chose to focus on the developer use-case of deploying to single regions, rather than using the API to migrate bundles between environments.

    At the moment we don't have immediate plans to crack open the hood of the managed bundles API, so we're going to decline this request, but we'll certainly bear your feedback in mind, and we'll update you via this idea in the future if we're thinking about changes in this area.
