Parameter to control loading of the artifacts on startup

Hello IBM,

z/OS Connect currently load all the artifacts while starting and there is no parameter to control loading which can cause z/OS Connect instance to run out or memory on startup due to obsolete services within /services folder. We are requesting to add parameter in future release of z/os connect that gives more control to user community.

    Thank you for this RFE.

    This requirement has been evaluated. The issue you highlight could be solved through use of DevOps practices to remove old .sar files from the server directory when no longer required. Also, given that only files with the .sar extension would be loaded from the services directory, your suggestion of excluding files ending in .old or .obsolete would in fact work today. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.

    so couple of questions ....

    Q1. How many APIs / services do you find it takes before you get memory issues?
    Q2. Why not just remove and decom the obsolete services ? (I'm sure that's probably what your auditor would like to see.)
