CICS TX supports correlation id

There is an End to End transaction monitoring project ongoing (2015-June online) for Bank of China.(1st beta in 2015-Feb)

Inside this project, a very important requirement is end-to-end instance trace from TX Series to CICS TS.

It all depends on Correlation id function. CICS TS(z) has this function already, but not TX Series.

So please provide the function of CICS TX supporting Correlation id. (ITCAM for transaction has the CICS DC for TX now)

This project is in BOC's 2014-2015 Mainframe upgrade programme. (Many m$) And their VP pays special attention to end to end transaction monitoring project.

This one is also under our VP - Christopher O'Connor's radar.

ITCAM for Transaction team in Australia can cooperate with TX lab if detailed requirement is needed. (Scot Dixon/Australia/IBM is the architect there)

Bin Jiang/China/IBM is the Lab Advocate who can communicate with customer if more detail is needed.

If possible, put this in highest priority,

How to provide this, as a hotfix, or fixpack, when customer has the project upgrading CICS TX? We can discuss.

Many thanks,

Idea priority Urgent
