CICS works alot better when it is restarted everyday (less storage fragmentation, etc). Even our so called '24/7' applications can come down for 15 minutes each day. Although the main reason we do this is so that we can implement changes on an automatic basis without having to arrange for restarts or change the automation schedules.
