Reuse CEEPIPI enclave during multiple EXEC CICS LINK/RETURNs to/from XPLINK programs within the same CICS task.

Running under 1 CICS task, a Cobol driver program does thousands of EXEC CICS LINKs to a C program (Program1) that is compiled with XPLINK. And each time Program 1 is invoked it does an EXEC CICS LINK to a C program (Program2) that is compiled with XPLINK.

Each EXEC CICS LINK to an XPLINK program builds a new CEEPIPI enclave environment. And each EXEC CICS RETURN from an XPLINK program destroys that environment. So a CICS task designed as described above will build and destroy thousands of CEEPIPI enclave environments. The overhead of that is significant.

The requirement is to save and reuse the CEEPIPI environment for the life of the CICS task so that multiple EXEC CICS LINK invocations of the same program by the same task requires only 1 CEEPIPI enclave.

If this RFE is implemented, in the prior example the CEEPIPI enclave for Program1 is built only once and destroyed only once, and the CEEPIPI enclave for Program2 is built only once and destroyed only once.

    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.
