Dedicated port for SOAP request and MU utilities

This requirement has been submitted as MR0517115255.

Currently the SOAP Gateway receives SOAP requests over a certain port (in CS port 18000). The management utility Iogmgmt, the SOAP Gateway Administrative Console and also commands entered from the z/OS console use the same port. If AT-TLS is configured to secure this port (TLS on with client/server authentication) only SOAP requests work fine, the others fail because those clients have no certificates attached.

    Dear Andrea Conzett:

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it is not consistent with the product direction. As a consequence we have, unfortunately, rejected this request.

    We appreciate your input to the IMS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Sincerely,
    Poonam Chitale
