More fine grained security when defining IMS services Merged

We would like to put the IMS Service creation in IMS Explorer for Development in the hands of our IMS developers. However, not every developer should be able to create any service for any IMS Transaction.

We would like to have much more fine grained SAF security, limiting the services a developer can see, create and modify based on the name of the service.
We would also like to be able to limit the IMS transactions that can be mapped to a service based on the transaction name.

    This RFE has been assessed by development as being a duplicate of RFE 108451: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewChangeRequest&CR_ID=108451


    RFE 108451 was closed with the following comment:
    "This RFE has been assessed by development as being no longer required due to enhancements for the service creation user experience delivered in the z/OS Connect EE API Toolkit for z/OS Connect EE V3.0.

    IMS Service projects in the API Toolkit today include connection and interaction reference IDs, rather than actual configuration details, and these references match those definitions in the z/OS Connect EE server runtime. The runtime definitions are subject to the usual access restrictions for the zFS file system resources (server.xml in this case), and are not automatically available to the API or service developers using the tool. Hopefully this new usage pattern means that the division of roles is no longer a concern within the IMS service creation lifecycle."

    If you have any further requirement relating to the new API Toolkit we would love to hear them,
