Allow API/SAR Deployment to specified Folder Location

Related to RFE 112082, We envision the Eclipse API toolkit having a pop-up providing an option to specify a location when doing a deploy. It is important that our application developers for each of our lines of business to choose their separate LOB folders when deploying their API and SAR assets to z/OS Connect.

    This requirement has been evaluated. Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in future zOS Connect EE releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.

    We are however interested in supporting multiple development teams creating separate APIs. Today, each team can work on their own API project(s) (controlled by source control) and deploy them to a shared development server. "Per API" and "per service" security can be used to control which team has access to call which API. If complete segregation of development environments between teams is required, separate z/OS Connect EE servers can be used. If you have requirements that would improve the experience for multiple teams developing APIs please submit them for consideration.

    Additionally, we have come to learn that an instance of z/OS Connect can only reference one set of API and SAR folders. We have a need for multiple LOBS to use an instance of z/OS Connect and place their APIs and SARs in separate LOB folders. We would like an instance of z/OS Connect to be able to access multiple LOB API & SAR folders.
