    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 141258 is because we do not have enough customer interest for this item at this time and the related requirement has also been closed by IMS Connect CEX product.

    In addition, we believe this requirement would be better managed from a DevOps point of view to provide a way to determine the version of TM RA running in mid-tier environment instead of incurring a potential overhead to log the version for each call in the runtime.

    If you have any further question, please contact us.

    Thank you!
