About processing of multiple layout of host side response message with z/OS Connect (MQSP)

System: z/OS Connect EE (MQSP)
Actor: Card members, non-members, merchant users
(It is necessary to access backbone data which is a legacy application)

Customers are requesting that legacy MQ applications are published and offered in API format using z/OS Connect.

Legacy applications are designed to handle multiple layouts in response messages. This is a general making and is by no means exceptional making. However, at this time it is not possible to handle multiple layouts, and this product in this version can not be adopted.

For details, refer to PMR: 74561, 614, 760.

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.32 / APAR PH23299

    The MQ service provider with z/OS Connect EE is enhanced to provide advanced data transformation options
    for IBM MQ services, and the capability to send and receive MQ messages up to 100MB in length for services
    that were created with the API toolkit. Services created with the build toolkit are limited to a message size of 32KB.

    For further details about this, refer to the “Create a two-way IBM® MQ service” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4SVW_3.0.0/scenarios/mq_create_2way_service.html
