IMS "wsdl first" WebServices: Reduce size of DFSPWSH message header (i.e. @dfs_async_msg_header)

Every web service request and response contains a first segment to transfer meta data, i.e. the @dfs_async_msg_header included DFSPWSH.

The size of this header is fix for every request/response and is more then 5KB, mainly because of large field declarations for target_namespace, service_name, port_name, operation_name.

80% or even more of all our web service requests/responses are very small in respect to the transfered user data. In other words the message header makes up a relevant part of the whole request/response size.

We have an IMS setup based on shared queues. To transfer such a big header in every request/response is expensive (resources/costs/time).

RFE: Find a solution to minimize the size of this meta data message header. (See also corresponding RFE for IMS http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=54534)

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us; However, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future.
