Policy based routing for API Requesters

We would like the ability to use policy based routing to direct API Requesters to specific API Connect endpoints.

I believe this would involve adding a new valid property for use for API Requesters.

For example:

EndpointConnectionRef
The ID of the zosconnect_endpointConnection element that defines the connection to REST endpoint. This value overrides the connection profile that is specified in the API toolkit during API Requester archive file generation.

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities for IBM z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition, it is not likely that we would address this use case using Policy. Given Policy is specifically mentioned in the RFE's title, accepting it would be misleading.

    Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point,

    However, the requirement will be kept in the RFE system and we will look to address the following use case in future:
    "Simplifying DevOps processes by removing the need to maintain multiple API Requester archive files for each endpoint"

    You also have an opportunity to re-raise this RFE with more focus on the use case and less on a specific solution.
