Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit ZCEE-I-137 Simplified JSON structures when generating bottom-up services from CICS channel applications.

[z/OS Explorer][z/OS Connect]Definition ? inconsistent API response field structure for CICS Commarea and CICS Container. Merged

The swagger response field structure generated for CICS Commarea and CICS Container are inconsistent.  An additional level (operation name) will be created for CICS Container in swagger request/response body.

Unnecessary outermost level (operation name) and next level (copybook name) are auto-added in swagger response body.

Suggestion
1) Swagger layout for CICS Commarea and Container should be same.
2) Swagger layout should be same as copybook. For example, copybook 01 level is the outermost field in swagger.
