    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into product plan.

    This is a valid requirement and will be accepted, but it would be quite expensive to implement the addition of all of the APPN configuration data (which I assume is what is being requested here) to the existing HPR/EE NMI (or better yet, through a new NMI). Therefore, I can not be optimistic the likelihood of this capability making a release plan.
