SA PROCOPS ICNTL command can be imporved update multiple variables in one command

Hello,

We were trying to use SA to automate ooCoD(resillience offering) requested by bank customer, they need to update lpars' weights values, but found if we use SA,we need to issue 21 commands which cost 15 minutes to update the weights. My BCPii collegure who is familiar with BCPii sysrexx told me they also have performance issue if they use BCPii HWISET function to update the weights values, and they pushed the dev to imporve this and BCPii HWISET2 can provide much better performance,only dozens of seconds(comparing with 15 minutes) to finish updating the weights. Finally we need to use BCPii HWISET2 instead of SA PROCOPS for the customer's request. Can SA PROCOPS ICNTL UPDATE command be improved to update several weight variables in one command and also the performance can be improved?

Thanks.
