Apar PI60388 (PTF UI42619 on CICS TS 5.1), (PTF UI42620 on CICS TS 5.2) and Apar PI60389 (PTF UI42574 on CICS T 5.3) provides system autoinstall capability for CICS LE program definitions. Program autoinstall does not need to be active.
Having applied the PTF, a CSD upgrade using DFHCURDM needs to be run. This will remove group CEE from list DFHLIST and DFH$IVPL. A new DFHLE group contains four definitions just for the CLER transaction. All other LE definitions will be system autoinstall when the relevant program is loaded.
Users should also remove group CEE from any user defined lists. The CEE group is no longer required having applied the PTF.

Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
We think that allowing autoinstall is risky and open to problems if LE make changes. We have no plans to do this. A better approach may be to raise a requirement on LE for them to consider spltting the CEE group into perhaps a base group and then language specific groups.
