Any suggestions on how to handle this use case:

Two CICS regions: A and B.

A is an inquiry and update region and runs all the time except when the nightly 
batch cycle is underway.

B is an inquiry region and runs 24/7.


We want all z/OS service calls to run in region A, when region A is down, we 
want them to run in region B (this will be inquiry only). The service caller 
does not know when region A will be down.

The backend CICS region to be used is control by definitions within the z/OS 
Connect server.xml file.

For example, an entry like: zosconnect_cicsIpicConnection id="TXsmg" will 
determine what port is use: port="3152". The port is uniquely defined to a 
given CICS region, say region A.



I wish I could have some logic within the server.xml file.... Thoughts?


Notes -

Running on:
z/OS 2.5
z/OS Connect 03.00.77
CICS TS 5.5
