• IMS V8 APPC Enhancements include:
• Dynamically add/delete LU 6.2 descriptors increases availability by not needing to bring the system down for this
• Use of another Logical Unit (LU) as an outbound LU increases availability caused by problems if the only outbound LU were disabled
• Use a CPU-time limit for CPI-C (explicit) transactions increases availability by helping to prevent looping programs so that the resources are not tied up.
• APPC Synchronous Shared Queues support enhances distribution of workload in an IMS Sysplex environment.
