in-memory database support

Currently GMCC has thousands of stand-alone application out of CICS. The main reason is that their system need to support huge TPS and they use in-memory database Oracle TT. TXSeries doesn't support any in-memory database currently.

    Can you please elaborate the use case for in-memory database with TXSeries. Please include information such as:
    1)Type of data stored
    2) Is it transactional?
    3) Do you need two phase commit protocol support?
    4) How often do they checkpoint?

    Some discussion with some of colleges who from GBS and SWTA team. They supported SDRCCB and SPDB for a long time and know their core banking system very well. Currently all of them think TXSeries should support memory database. The main reason is that some application parameters and hot tables need to be accessed with very high pressure. Normally database can not offer this. So they have to maintain one memory by themselves. They require read/write operation in this memory database. GMCC also has the similar requirement.
