Transaction Userid should be used for the authorization of Commands submitted by MPP Pgm through CSLOMCMD or REXX SPOC API

Currently the Userid used to submit a Command through CSLOMCMD Macro used by a AOP Program that runs in a MPP within the processing of a
Transaction is the MPP Region Userid and not the Userid of the User that submitted the Transaction.
IMS should recognize if a Command is being submitted through CSLOMCMD or REXX SPOC API being executed within a Transaction, and in this case extract the original Transaction Userid (i.e. from I/O PCB) and use that (i.e. by internally setting the USERID Parameter of the CSLOMCMD Macro).

    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.

    When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and prioritize those.

    At this time, after reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, we have decided to reject it. The reason we are rejecting RFE ID 35172 is because it is not our product direction to provide this function. The CSLOMCMD macro is a generic interface that works in different application types and at this point we don't plan to introduce behavior that is specific to applications that will be compiled to run in an IMS dependent region.

    We recommend updating the existing application to include the transaction userID as the value for the USERID= parameter of the CSLOMCMD macro call.

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

    Thank you for your continue support with IMS.

    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.

    At this time, after further review this request for enhancement, we believe the function is already available.

    Commands which are submitted from a program using the OM API while executing in a message processing program (MPP) region or batch message processing program (BMP) region use the IMS MPP/BMP dependent region USERID for authorization.

    However, if the user's installation uses the IMS Build Security Environment exit routine (DFSBSEX0) or OTMA/APPC SECURITY FULL (for example, the user's installation issues the /SECURE OTMA/APPC FULL command), then, the actual transaction userid can be used for authorization.

    See this document link for details:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPH2_13.1.0/com.ibm.ims13.doc.spr/ims_cslommcmdreq_csl.htm

    We would like to know if the existing function would satisfy your needs. If you can provide us some feedback, it will be helpful for us to assess this RFE.

    Thank you!
