ability to map multiple response messages with API Requesters

With API Requesters, we need to ability to map multiple API response messages for a given API , with the zconbt tooling, and have the appropriate transform done based upon the http response code.

Implicit in this request is the need for transformation of the response message for non-200 http response codes.

    Thank you for this RFE.

    This is a strategic requirement that is part of our long term roadmap.

    Delivering this requirement will need some careful design consideration and may take some time to deliver. We are currently seeking participation in our design program to help us develop our initial designs. If you are interested in joining us on this journey to shape the delivery of this capability, please sign up to the Z Client Feedback program via the link below, indicating your interest in z/OS Connect EE:

    Thank you for the additional comments. They have been noted by the team. We understand that this is an important capability, and would provide an improved development experience compared to the capability to handle non-200 responses codes in the product today:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4SVW_3.0.0/facilitating/errorhandle_apirequester.html

    Though we hope to accept this RFE in future, unfortunately we are not yet at the point where this fits among our highest priorities, and as such we can re-open this RFE at this time.

    It's extremely disappointing that this has been declined and I start to wonder what the priorities are for zCEE product development if basic functions like these are ignored.

    We also view this as a high priority item and a blocker for effective use of the zos Connect EE product. Its extremely disappointing to see that this RFE has been declined.

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities for IBM z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future and we would hope to deliver it at some point. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

Request for zCEE Build Toolkit to support data mapping for multiple response codes

Merged
We have a need for the zCEE Build Toolkit to support data mapping for multiple response codes in multiple copybook structures, so each response can have a different layout as needed for processing.
