DB2 SAR uri override

Currently within the properties file used to define an service for a DB2 REST service there is a hard coded uri value. The path in the uri value includes the schema. The SAR file is generated once and promoted across DEV, SIT UAT etc
This schema can change across environments where they may have multiple copies of an application in a system separated by schema name.
Currently we cannot promote a common SAR file across environments it has to be changed each time.

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.29 / APAR PH19949:
    https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?crawler=1&uid=swg1PH19949

    You can now override the collectionId for Db2 projects in sever.xml

    For further details about service archive overrides, refer to the Service archive override properties in the "Configuration Elements" topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:

    The uri is in the format /services// <=== so this would be hard coded for each schema and needs to be able to be overridden.

    Thanks for you response. Just to clarify which part of the properties file that you provided is the part that you refer to as "schema name"?

    I think we have answered this offline some time back. But to be clear the current properties file would look like:

    provider=rest

    name=DB2SYSGetTS
    version=1.0

    description=DB2SYSGetTimestampAPI
    requestSchemaFile=DB2SYSGetTSRequest.json
    responseSchemaFile=DB2SYSGetTSResponse.json
    verb=POST
    /services// <=== so this would be hard coded for each schema and needs to be able to be overridden.
    connectionRef=dsn2ConnSSL

    Thank you for this RFE.

    Just to be clear, when you refer to "schema name" in your description, do you mean "Db2 Collection Name" or "Db2 Rest Native Service Name"? as the "schema name" does not appear in the URI path.

    We would need this additional detail before we can assess this RFE.
