This RFE is satisfied by the resource overrides feature provided by PH30590 on CICS TS 5.6
This feature enables a system programmer to tailor the resources for a specific CICS environment, and provides the following advantages:
• You can take a set of CICS definitions from development through to a production environment without change. Any resource attributes can be overridden to support each environment as required.
• In addition, you can use system-specific symbols such as the SYSIDor APPLID to override attribute values dynamically when a resource is installed.
• You can apply standards by ensuring that certain attribute values are always turned on or off, or set to a specific value.

This is a candidate for a future release
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.
