When Development was asked ‘How to implement newcopy/phasing process for multiple CICS regions in a plexed environment?’   Support was provided with the following information:

The NEWCOPY method is a traditional standalone batch job with SYSIN parms.

For a single CICS, sample parameters are:

TARGET=CICSD229
DFHRPL=CICS.TEST.SDFHLOAD
PROGRAM=TESTP004

The PROGRAM statement can be repeated for multiple programs.

For multiple CICS regions, simply repeat the target, DFHRPL and Program statements OR provide a fresh job step instance of EXEC PGM=CMNCICS . . etc

There is no logic to discover CICSPLEX regions and their DFHRPL concatenations.

For the XCI method, the EXCI app needs to be installed in every CICS region in the CICSPLEX.
