IMS Application Program Refresh

IMS WFI or Fast Path Drivers load the program modules once and to be able to refresh these modules IMS FP or MPP regions should be recycled. These may cause availability issues.

    Dear Ozgur,

    Thank you for submitting the RFE. We have evaluated the RFE and for ease of management of function we would like to split this into two RFE's one for IMS WFI (MPP + BMP) regions and one for IMS FP regions. We will maintain this RFE for dynamic refresh of programs in IMS WFI (MPP+BMP) regions. If the requirement for IMS FP is still a valid requirement can we request you to open a new RFE for the refresh of programs in IMS FP regions. Thank you.

    regards,
    Anu Vakkalagadda
