This RFE is being rejected as we believe that using JSR352 in CICS Liberty and using the JCICS API to access resources would essentially turn batch workload into online workload but retaining the QOS that Batch processing provides (or at least as JSR352 mandates).
The intuition is an elimination of the dependencies between the batch and the online transactions in Liberty and the classic CICS which are running in one (CICS) address space.
In other words, if a CICS with all resources is available for the legacy applications and Liberty, we can get a problem within the CICS, if these are exclusively required in the batch or in CICS. Possibly the CICS must be terminated for batch operation.
Or am I wrong?
Can you expand a bit on this requirement please? The Batch Applications for the Java Platform (JSR-352) standard is now supported for CICS TS V5.3 with Liberty as announced in October 2016. Does this not meet your requirements?
