Add Elapsed Time attribute to the CICS CPSM Task Resource Table

We would like the capability of having CPSM generate an event if a transaction has been in the system for a long time by watching for high Elapsed Time.

There are alot of atrributes in the CPSM Task Resource Table, but Elapsed Time is not one of them.

Idea priority Low

    This requirement is satisfied by CICS TS 5.2 which is generally available from June 13th 2014.
    CICS TS V5 introduced the concept of threshold policies. When a threshold is exceeded the actions that can be done are: issue a message, abend the task or emit an event.

    In CICS TS 5.2 policies have been extended including the ability to set a policy based on elapsed time. CICS TS 5.2 was announced on April 7th 2014 and will GA Friday 13th June 2014. hence this RFE is satisfied by CICS Policies not CPSM RTA.
