This RFE is satisfied by CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V5.5 which is announced today 2nd October 2018 and which has a planned availability date of 14th December 2018.
For more information see the CICS TS V5.5 announcement letter https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/2/897/ENUS218-352/index.html&request_locale=en
Yes we will supply the information on CEMT INQUIRE SYSTEM as well.
This is something we would like to address. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status. Please note:
IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion. Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision. The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information about potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our products remains at our sole discretion.
The functionality you require can be obtained indirectly by looking at a resource signature. If the resource signature INSTALLAGENT shows GRPLIST then the INSTALLTIME attribute will show the date and time of the last cold star because the install was done as part of a GRPLIST install. So for example pick a CICS defined and installed resource, lets say program DFHD2EX1. CEMT INQUIRE PROGRAM(DFHD2EX1) will show INSTALLAGENT(GRPLIST) and the INSTALLTIME will be the date and time of the GRPLIST install during the last cold start.
This is a candidate for a future release
