    This IDEA has been assessed by the team. The requested capability is already possible. The CHANNEL name you specify in the API toolkit Service Interface Editor is the channel used to invoke the CICS application. If you have separate request and response service interfaces, then you may specify a different channel name for the request vs the response.
