    Hi,

    Gone through the DFHDPLOY utility. This only accepts System groups/Region name as input. This mean, i have to create a system group with all the regions in it just for doing new copy across all the regions. And i have to manually add new CICS regions to this group.
    Can you enhance this utility to access CICSPlex name also as input which will eliminate the need to create a new group and keep adding/removing regions when we build or decommission them.

    Have you looked at using DFHDPLOY which provides this capability? See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGMCP_5.5.0/applications/deploying/dfhdploy_command_setprog.html
