Well, we do still do this for most of our CICS regions, hold over from as long ago as pre OS390 days. We used to need to stop/start the inits they run on also. It's not needed anymore (CICS memory leaks are mostly gone), but it's convienent for some back-ups and some defragging.

We restart our regions every ...CPC replacement <g> but seriously: our regions are running for months. I'm not CICS specialist, but I have never heard about performance changes after CICS restart. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul.
