CPSM Dynamic Transaction Routing, based upon defined PCT's using CPSM Topology map

For CPSM Transaction routing, we have a router and several targets; target only; not combination target / router.
The targets are not all exactly the same, being that they all don't have the same tranID defined in all.
The CPSM Topology map could reflect the
difference in the targets and therefore only route to the targets that have the tranId defined.

We were looking to rely on the topology and not define specific CPSM WLMDEF TRANGRP Group / CPSM Scope definitions,

The Topology Map (PCT Tranid) is not considered when selecting a target region.
was thinking that it should be considered in returniing of the Candidate
Targets Scope_Vector (WCOM_SCOP_VECT) returned to EYU9WRAM for target
selection. If the PCT TranId not defined to that target; don't include in the routing target vector selection in EYU9WRAM.

    This requirement has been re-evaluated. Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next two CICS TS releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Transaction Processing
    Product - CICS Transaction Server

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - WebSphere
    Product family - Transaction Processing
    Product - CICS Transaction Server

    This is something that is probably doable but requires careful consideration. For example it is not clear we'd want to add the additional pathlength of a Topology lookup to every dynamic routing decision. The plan for the next release is full. The request will be marked as a candidate for a future release beyond that.
