Uncaptured wait time for CICS webservices

We are seeing a high uncaptured wait time for webservice attach tasks.
This time should be captured and recorded in the CICS SMF 110 Performance class record. An auxtrace has shown that the uncaptured time is spent suspended waiting for resource 'RZCBNOTI'

    having time spent suspended waiting for resource 'RZCBNOTI' or other sub pools will help analyze prolong response time situations. We have a case where se se only have a suspend time but no other timing in the SMF110 accounting record which make it very hard to identify the problem.

    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

    A wait in RZCBNOTI implies request streams, RZ is used for a context switch. A services request arrives in CICS, a task is started to process it; that task figures out the target transaction/userid that's needed for the application processing work, and a new task is triggered with those credentials (and potentially routed to another region) using RZ; while the new task is running the old one will be blocked with a waiting state of RZCBNOTI. The flow of control for the external web request isn't blocked however, it'll be chugging along nicely in another task. The important work will be happening in the second task, the first is merely waiting for it to complete. The RZ wait has existed since TS V2.1 (it was first used for EJB) but is now used for Web Services.

    The RZCBNOTI wait shouldn't be misconstrued to be of direct importance - that first task will wait in the RZCBNOTI suspend for the entire elapsed time in which the application is running (and potentially rather longer than that if there are remote transactions to coordinate).
