Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit CICSTS-I-254 CICS TCPIPSERVICE - RETRY needed.

CICS TCPIPSERVICE - RETRY needed Merged

When doing an IPL, sometimes CICS is started before TCP/IP is fully up and running. This results in TCPIPSERVICEs being unable to start.
---
This RFE is to add two parameters to the TCPIPSERVICE definition:
1. RETRY_COUNT to specify how many times CICS will try to start the TCPIPSERVICe
2. RETRY_INTERVAL to specify the time between attempts to start the TCPIPSERVICE

    We have assessed this requirement. 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.
