Status Not under consideration
Workspace z/OS Connect

Support tolerant reader principle with z/OS Connect JSON

System: z/OS connect Enterprise Edition
USER needs z/OS Connect REST clients to be tolerant readers by default.

currently they are not tolerant readers by default, Object value has to be explicitly mentioned in the OpenAPi file + a Size has to foreseen in the client build properties file, which is a bit 'disturbing' to the OpenAPI.

    Thank you for this RFE.Unfortunately there was not enough information to allow us to effectively assess this requirement. In a previous comment we requested the information that would help us clarify key points, but this information has not been provided.

    Regrettably this means that we cannot effectively assess this requirement and so our only option is to declined it at this point. You are free to re-raise this requirement with the detail requested if you still want it to be considered.

    Thank you for this RFE.

    Can you please clarify whether you are referring to:
    A) z/OS Connect EE API Provider - The ability to expose Z services as a REST API (Potentially using the REST Client Service provider to target HTTP/JSON endpoints)
    OR
    B) z/OS Connect EE API Requester - The ability to call APIs from z/OS native applications.

    It would also be useful to know how "SOAP services" relate to this use case since z/OS Connect EE does not support SOAP.
