Debugger should provide CICS WUI definitions for the debugger resources

there might be other customers who use WUI 's   - they can not use the CSD's we  provide at this time

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. This requirement has been re-assessed and we have decided that it does not fit into our current plans within the next 1-2 years, so the Idea will be closed. The request will be kept in Idea system and might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback or voting in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    Debug Tool currently does not work on CICS when its resource definitions come from CICS plex tooling (CPSM) instead of the CSD. In this CICS doc https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.4?topic=resources-how-you-can-define-cics#dfha4fn

    it says: You can use CICSPlex SM Business Application Services (BAS) to define and manage resources. Definitions are stored in the CICSPlex SM data repository and can be installed either automatically, during CICS initialization, or dynamically, into a running CICS system. However the installation of the definitions is happening too late for the debugger which gets initiated during LE startup
