Gil, I cannot provided details, but at a bank I used to work had the same issue and if I recall correctly it was CICS "system" (set of programs) not CICS that had issues. we grumbled and moaned but were told to shut up. This wasn't some piddling ass system this was a ATM real time system. Every 6 months we had to pay fines for the "planned" outage.
2/3 of the systems group had to baby sit the process. Take the salary of the systems group and add the fines had to. Add. Up.
