Allow user interface to submit type 2 commands thru IMS Connect

Currently the only user able to issue IMS type 2 commands through IMS Connect is the Control Center. This should be opened up to allow others to be able to issue type 2 commands.

    This was officially available to IMS Connect API clients in ES 2.1.

    Type-2 commands are officially supported by the Connect API for Java as of Enterprise Suite 2.1. This is copied from the 'New features' section of the Connect API for Java:

    Support for IMS type-2 commands
    The Connect API for Java now supports IMS and IMS Connect type-2 command input. The Connect API for Java can return the response data as either a raw XML document or as a parsed response object.

    Included in the download are sample applications, one of which is a sample for type-2 command support.

    I was asked if this satisfies my requirement. The answer is no. I was told that the IMS Connect API can only be used by the Control
    Center at this time. We do not use the Control Center and have no current plans of using the Control Center.
    We current issue Type 1 IMS Command and IMS transaction through an IMS Connect interface. I need the IMS Connect API to be
    opened up so that we can use our tool to issue Type 2 IMS Commands.

    Type-2 command support is available through IMS Connect using the IMS Connect API. IMS Connect API is available with Enterprise Suite. The type-2 command support is available as of version 2.2.

    Please confirm whether this satisfies the requirement.
