Activating new versions of java applications without any outage in a CICS with different OSI bundles and dependencies

The motivation is equal to the RFE 107228. We are looking for a solution to handle the LifeCycle of Java applications in an CICS Environment with different OSGI Bundles and dependencies between these bundles. Goal is an activation of new Versions without any outage as it is possible with Cobol programs. The proposal in this RFE is to handle this with different JVMs. Today one Attribute of the program definition of a Java program is the JVMServer, but you can define only a single JVMServer. If it would be possible to define at least two JVMServer and the workload is distributed on the two as long as they are enabled, then we can activate new versions by disable/enable the two JVMServer wraparound so that at least one server is active during the whole time. If there is an exit point for this as a first step this would be also helpful. Another Advantage of this is, that you can distribute the workload on different JVMServers in one CICS Region if there is a bottleneck in the JVMServer for some reason.

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months, or in the next CICS TS release. Correspondingly 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.
