Service level transaction expiry support for IMS OTMA

We would like to give our API developers the capability to specify on OTMA timeout value and activate IMS OTMA transaction expiry.

We would like the developer to be able to specify the timeout value and whether to activate transaction expiry or not.

If a timeout value is NOT specified but transaction expiry IS activated by the developer, use the value on the TIMEOUT parm on the TCPIP statement in the HWSCFGxcx member.


Allow these values to be overridden in the headers delivered from API Connect to z/OS Connect.

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.40 / APAR PH30597:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH30597

    The IMS service provider has been enhanced to enable Policy override of the interaction properties imsInteractionTimeout, imsLtermOverrideName, and imsTranExpiration.

    For further details about properties for use in policies, refer to the “Valid properties for use in policy rules” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:
