Provide option to Remove Authorization Parameter when constructing Swagger Document using z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition

1. Provide option to Remove Authorization Parameter when constructing Swagger Document using z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition
2. Currently when producing a Swagger Document using z/OS Connect the following "Authorization header is generated into the Swagger Document:
"parameters" : [ {
"name" : "Authorization",
"in" : "header",
"required" : false,
"type" : "string"
}, {
3. The above header causes an informational error when loading into the z/TPF System in support of for zREST/zDFDL Rest Provider processing
4. This is because the "authorization" has not and cannot be defined in z/TPF using existing tooling.
5. The problem does not preclude executing the load as it produces an informational error message only and allows the load to occur
6. However , this produces a "red flag" warning to the loads control group that is hesitant to load with errors
7. The current TVPT work around is to manually remove the "authorization" parameters from the swagger document prior to loading.

    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.

    However, RFE 88702 to support the import of a user provided swagger document may provide the flexibility needed here.

    You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.
