cicsdp process sleep for ever after it reaches the maximum retries and have to restart cics region for ITM KT8agent connect

If the ITM Kt8 agent is not available, cicsdp process sleeps for ever after it reaches the maximum retries.
The customer has to restart region to make cicsdp to reconnect to ITM kt8 agent. It is current design.

    A design change which can resolve this issue will involve keeping cicsdp alive and polling for ITM agent forever until it comes back. This will cause unnecessary resource utilization by cicsdp. So in this case keep the Threshold high enough for cicsdp to keep alive. Or if you can elaborate what are the scenarios where ITM agent vaishes for the long time, we will look at other design alternatives.
