CICS Transaction Gateway - Improve CICS Request Exit capabilities

To provide a routing logic to send ECI requests to specific CICS TS regions we need to develop a custom CTG CICS Request Exit. We implemented a logic based on the Transid name able to route the ECI requets to the right CICS environment, managing both round-robin and failover cases. We need also to change the Mirror transaction name and the EIBTRNID (TPNName and TranName) to meet customer's standard but the CTG Request Exit doesn't allow to modify or set those value. The request is to have a way to set both TPNName and TranName from CICS Request Exit.

    CICS TG team does not have plans to implement this RFE in near future and so this requirement 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.
