Workload Switch De-allocation of Batch VSAM files

VSAM replication utilises a dedicated CICS region to make updates to VSAM files on on the target system. In the case of batch VSAM files, the apply region must have exclusive access to the VSAM files, so the files must be de-allocated before being allocated to another process. The requirement is to include this de-allocation as part of a workload switch, to avoid the user having to perform this step either manually or in a script.
