Enable z/OS Connect API Requester Feature to Transparently handle API Endpoint changes

Currently, when an API endpoint has new response fields added that an API Consumer does not need, z/OS Connect API Requester will start to fail unless its API Requester Archive (ARA) is updated so its definition of the API includes the new fields (even though the consumer does not need them)
If z/OS connect could manage receiving a response structure that contains fields that are not defined in the ARA, then it would simplify coordinating the rollout of API changes with all consumers of the API (ie no need to tightly coordinate the rollout of the API changes and implement the new ARA file at the same time in all locations).

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities for IBM z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
