    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this request for enhancement. Thoughts like those expressed here really influenced our architectural redesign of ACEv11, which strips the use of UUIDs from the proprietary state store which underpinned IIBv10 and earlier versions of the product. Removing UUIDs from the file state stores of the integration server enables the contents of the working directory, and in particular its "run" subdirectory which holds copies of the deployed artifacts, to be copied between integration servers. This is also the foundation of the mqsiextractcomponents command whose role is to extract info from v10 deploy stores and copy it into this same directory layout. Also with v11 we have changed configurable services to policies which again can simply be copy-pasted and utilised in both the run and overrides subdirectories. So, whilst there is no "mqsirenameintegrationserver" command or "mqsiclone" command (yet!), all the building blocks are in place, and for the moment the task should be nowhere near as arduous as it was in earlier releases. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
