    I see from IBM United States Software Announcement 220-522 dated December 15, 2020 that the Statement of direction is to include support for OpenAPI 3 APIs.

    Thank you for raising this requirement.
    The ability to import a document created in the OpenAPI 3.0 specification is very much strategic for IBM z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition and sits within our longer term planning.
    As such this RFE has therefore been accepted into "Uncommitted Candidate" status
