IDEA/IDLX in a threadsafe CICS region

Products

• Ideal

Issue/Introduction

IDEAL applications must be in load module format to run safely in a threadsafe CICS region. 

Can the IDEA/IDLX transaction itself run safely in a threadsafe region?  E.g. for administrative/display purposes.   

Environment

Release : 15.1

Component : IDEAL

Resolution

All functions work. However, there may be a lot of thread-switching overhead for the access to the BDAM VLS files.
