CICS EXIT POINT to INTERCEPT or ALTER userid

We are running CICS TS 5.2. We have an issue that some of our application transactions are being initiated without supplying a user ID, therefore CICS region userid or CICS default user id is used for those transactions. This is not compliant to our security standard as each application should have its own application ID with appropriate entitlements assigned to that ID by our security system such as RACF.

Instead of spending major effects in remediating application codes to provide a user id, we'd like to have a CICS user exit point available so that we can intercept or alter the user id before the security/RACF request is made.

Your kind consideration is mostly appreciated.

    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12-24 months and so it 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.
