We are asking for an enhancement to FM for IMS to have the capability of add/update a template, for an IMS managed ACB system running in an IMS data sharing environment, on any IMS within the data sharing environment.

The capability to add/update a template for an IMS managed ACB system, on a system where the IMS region isn't running, isn't in the current design of File Manager.  
We would like to see the enhancement of the product, to run/update a template on any lpar within a data sharing environment.  All of the IMS regions share the data, share the catalog and the DBD, but file manager doesn't recognize the template was created on an IMS partner. 
  
Prior to managed ACBs, the FM batch jobs that updates the templates with the latest copybook changes was able to run in a 'multiplex - data sharing IMS regions' environment without issues. After the introduction of manager ACBs,  the FM jobs fails for the templates that are created on the LPAR where the other data sharing IMS region runs. Since all the data sharing IMS regions running on different LPARs share the data, share the catalog, and the DBD, the FM  batch should recognize the templates created on the LPAR where the other data sharing IMS partners run.
