Special Load-Lib for IMS SOA instead of usage of the RDz - FEK.SFEKLOAD

Hi all,

we have here just a ongoing POC proceeding to test the usage of IMS SOA with the help of RDz 8. In order to use IMS SOA properly the IMS-colleagues were told, that they should add the RDz-library FEK.SFEKLOAD as steplib to the concerned IMS-regions as steplib or - even
better - add it to the linklist of the concerned LPARs.

From our point of view as RDz-administrators this it not a real problem for LPARs where the mainframe-component of installed.
But now IMS SOA should also be available at (productive) LPARs where no RDz is installed. And we have a bad feeling about providing RDz-Load-libraries to mainframe systems where no RDz should be available. This also changes our responsibilities.

So, we would need a library for IMS SOAP just containing the needed modules so that not always the whole RDz-FEKLOAD has to be added to the linklist of even on LPARs where no RDz should be installed.
