Dear Mr Bescape,
Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
After a comprehensive review, we regret to inform you that we have determined that at this time this request will not be a candidate for inclusion in an upcoming release because it is not consistent with the product direction. Hence, we have rejected this request.
We appreciate your input to the IMS development team.
Sincerely,
Tom Morrison
RFE 35707, which enhances IMS and IMS Connect to support 2PC Global transactions when IMS and IMS Connect reside on different z/OS images, has been delivered in IMS 14. Part of the solution delivered in IMS 14 provides better routing information to the IMS Connect user message exists, including whether 2PC is supported for specific data stores. This information can be used by the customer to enforce their own affinity if required. Therefore, this RFE 35876, which requests that IMS Connect enforce affinity, is no longer required.
In an email on Feb 10, 2016, Gianmario Bescape confirmed that the customer no longer requires this enhancement:
Hello Tom,
ok from Customer in Rejecting DCR MR021612157 / RFE 35876 .
Therefore, the requirement will be rejected.
Change Visibility to Public per customer request.
