PL/1 bundle phasein support

We have the developer requirement to quickly test his application in test state. For this we will use zospt to create a new cics for the developer. He then has his own region to test the application.

If the developer compiles a modul in a component, he then just wants to make a phase in or new on this program. This is not possible as the program runs in application/platform context.

He has to disable the app and make it availabe again to get a phasein.

We can automate this, but the workflow to do this all takes time and also the app and the corresponding bundle is not changeing, only the program should be newly be loaded.

Idea priority High

    We have assessed this requirement. The recommended solution would be to use DFHDPLOY.

    We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
