Remove or mitigate z/OS Connect IMS API Requester COBOL LE POSIX restrictions that prevent some use cases

This pertains to case TS016566172. We (IBM TEL) have seen use cases for IMS API Requester using COBOL where the LE prevents z/OS connect from working due to POSIX requirements and restrictions. POSIX(ON) in IMS can cause other non-z/OS Connect calls to fail which requires significant work arounds, synchronous ICAL calls, or complete application redesigns to use z/OS Connect Outbound.

Idea to review the restrictions and determine if they can be resolved without the use of significant client work arounds. Can the restriction be resolved in IMS, COBOL, zCEE or a combination of all three? If not, idea to provide detailed diagrams of use cases in zCEE documentation and how to mitigate the restriction using calls and tools available like ICAL, nested enclaves, runtime settings, etc. Currently, the client has to jump to multiple links and try and attempt to determine which solution fits their need.
