Add a way to stop queueing for STOPed transactions (for transaction switching)

When a transactions is STOPped, if you try to call one directly (from a terminal ou from IMS Connect), your requested will be rejected and the request will not queue. But if you make the call to the STOPped transaction from another transaction using CHNG/ISRT/PURG calls, your request will queue. There should be a way to avoid that.

    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 idea is because it is not our product direction and the business value to provide this function at this time.

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

    Thank you for your continue support with IMS.
