PWFI Regions Applications should not be terminated when processing a OLC PREPARE.

Currently when the OLC PREPARE Online Change phase is run all PWFI Regions are posted off the SUBQ6 and the Application Programs are terminated through SCQC . That change appears was introduced by old Apars PL55214 on DFSICLV0 for type1 /MODIFY Command - forwarded to DFSOLC10 for type2 INITIATE OLC Command, and PL50174 for DFSDLA30. Like it happens for the pure WFI Transactions only the ones involved by the Online Change (that is accessing the Transaction, Application ACB or Database being affected by the change) should suffer the termination.

    Hi Gianmario,

    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 this RFE is because this does not align with our strategic direction.

    We appreciate your input to IMS, and we hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely
    Swetha Sridharan
