CICS (TS1.3) does not free RUWAPOOL storage?

2007-01-21 Thread Itschak Mugzach
Lately we saw an increase in our ECSA storage consumption. As we recycle CICS rarely (once a 30 days, or more), we need to expand edca size from time to time. I looked into this storage (Omegamon, Storage, PAM EDCA) and it look like it is occupied by RUWP RUWA. Why CICS does not release this
