Parallel processing in a region while waiting for sycnhronous ICAL call response

We foresee increased Intention to use of IMS applications as consumers of web services. With the current ICAL design a dependent region will be occupied by a single transaction waiting for a response to a synchronous callout request. This is not a scalable solution. Even with optimistic timeout values being set we anticipate an inordinate number of regions to be made available to support peak loads.
This is similar to the requirement of RFE #54605 but not the same. We want the region to be available for other transaction processing while the ICAL program is waiting for a response.

    Dear Carl Moolman:

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because the request has a high implementation cost. As a consequence we have, unfortunately, rejected this request.

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

    Sincerely,
    Jack Yuan
