Problem conclusion

  • In Rational Integration Tester 8.7.0.1:
    
    1) Transactions are now manually allocated and freed in RITEXITC
    instead of waiting for the end of life of the transaction. This
    change frees up memory that was previously held by long-lived
    transactions.
    
    2) The RITHRTBT program is now used instead of the less
    efficient RITCONFG program to provide heartbeat capability.
    
    3) The Rational Integration Tester CICS Agent now supports a
    JOBNAME of less than 8 characters, such as CICS52B.
