z/OS Connect EE - Support for Multiple Versions

z/OS Connect EE API Toolkit (3.0.60 - current version) along with z/OS Connect EE 3.0.24, doesn't support Multiple version Naming for IMS or CICS APIs created. Though there are different fields available for 'Name' and 'version', while generating archive, Name and version are not concatenated and so 'Archive' naming as well the internal API name assigned (while deploying) contains only 'Name ' field value causing inappropriate support when there is a need to deploy same API with more than one version (User end up in selecting unique names even for the same API as a workaround). So, Please fix this

    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. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
