A dynamic PRELOAD in dependant IMS region

Hi,

For a Message Processing Region or Fast Path Region, it is possible to enable PRELOAD with a list of modules specified in a DFSMPLxx member of the IMS PROCLIB.

To maintain a such static list in DFSMPLxx member is quit a heavy task.

If it will be possible that IMS dependant region could use PRELOAD in a dynamically way, it will be great.
For example, it could be to keep in PRELOAD the 1000 most called modules...

Best regards.

    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 have decided to reject it. The reason we are rejecting RFE ID 131696 is because given our current priorities we cannot in good faith get to this within 18 months from the date that it is being opened. We value the required requirement and we will keep consider if priority changed. You are also welcome to resubmit this RFE at a later date and we will reconsider.

    If you have any further question, please contact us.

    Thank you!
