Improve MAS9 deployment process to allow deploying java customizations with minimal or no downtime

Today in 7.6 we deploy java customizations without taking a full outage via a process we call dynamic deployment. This is a homegrown process where essentially, we have 2 data centers and we take Maximo down in 1 data center and deploy the change there and bring it back up. While the first set is down, the load balancer redirects traffic to the second data center where the jvms stay up serving users until the instances in the first data center come back up at which point the second set of jvms goes down to have the new changes applied. This process minimizes impacts to just transactions happening on the system when it goes down, by doing this during off hours as well there's virtually no loss of data. New requests go to the jvms that are still up so integrations continue to function.


With the move to MAS9 this process no longer works so it's a big step backwards for us in terms of deployment impacts. We'd like something like this to be developed so that downtime can be minimized when doing deployment of changes that don't need a full outage like a database config.
