TWS High Availability

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We are working with high availability in the customer's datacenter, so tests were done with TWS simulating an lpar outage where TWS was active in a sysplex. The standby controller takes over work correctly for new jobs that are submitted, but jobs that were already running at the time of unavailability do not continue processing in TWS, they stuck in 'started' status, waiting for the system tracker to return or some manual action in TWS. The possibilities of having the status changed to 'error' or 'reset' also do not meet what is being requested by the customer, TWS should keep working on the other active Lpar in the sysplex, without requiring any operator action for jobs that have already started.
