    Apar PH30768 recently shipped will be of use here. New feature toggle is supplied:

    com.ibm.cics.cpsm.wlm.surgeresist={true|false}

    When applied to CICSPlex SM WLM routing regions, this feature toggle takes effect for the QUEUE and GOAL WLM algorithms when using sysplex optimized workload routing. It has no effect when applied to target regions. When the feature toggle is set to true, surges of extremely high frequency short duration transactions can be mitigated by reducing the likelihood that recently selected target regions are reselected.
