CICS TS - parameter SIT TCPIP (TCPIP = YES) with command online

Good afternoon,

Please check the possibility of including the parameter SIT TCPIP (TCPIP = YES) via command online,
in flight, without the necessary of stop/start of CICS that is currently needly.

    We have assessed this requirement. The recommendation is to run with always run with TCPIP=YES. We have no plan to make this alterable online so this requirement is being declined at this point.

    Really in the v5.4, the default for this SIT parameter from NO to YES was changed.

    We use the parameter TCPIP = YES only in CICS TOR/SOR regions, configured in SYSIN.

    The all others CICS regions , we use TCPIP = NO at SIT.

    Recently, it was necessary to perform a change a parameter in CICS AOR, which had TCPIP = NO (SIT), which serves our Mobile environment.

    However, to effect the change, recycling of CICS is required.From there came the idea of the suggest a command to make this change online.

    In CICS TS 5.4 we changed the default for this SIT parameter from NO to YES, because IP connectivity is commonplace and required.

    Why would you need the capability to change it dynamically rather than just always running with TCPIP=YES ?
