    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    After reviewing this request for enhancement with the MQ product team, we concluded that the key enhancement needed for this requirement would be required in the MQ product. Therefore, we kindly ask you to open a new idea for the MQ product in the Integration customer portal - https://integration-development.ideas.ibm.com

    If you have any further question, please let us know.

    Thank you for your continue support with IMS.
