Move CICS internal storage associated with Webservice processing to 64Bit storage.

Move CICS internal storage associated with Webservice processing to 64Bit storage.

The application reads/writes the response from a channel/container environment. Containers are held in 64Bit storage.

The CICS internal pipeline processing is using 31Bit storage thus limiting the amount of data a Webservice provider application is able to process.

We do see memory shortages in the web owning regions of large webservices. It appears that CICS code needs a multiple memory of the response data being passed back by the application.

    This is something we would like to address. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status. Please note:

    This could relieve storage constraints. But we do also see CICS internal storage demand from request streams (we have a webowning region layer) that routes the business logic to AOR's connected over MRO. Also PI Domain has buffers in 31Bit storage.
    We will install CICS 5.4 soon and verify.

    The 64 bit exploitation work done in CICS TS 5.4 will partially address this. The server HTTP body will be received into above the bar storage if the HTTP request contains a Content-length header or is sent in chunks as Webservices uses containers. Also when Webservices sends a response back to the client the HTTP body will be sent from above the bar storage as its sent from a container. What is not addressed is Webservices client calls to the Web domain. these still use 31 bit storage

    Given this would CICS TS 5.4 be of benefit to you ?
