Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit ZCEE-I-80 REDEFINES Behavior: Requirement to support multiple redefinitions on input (request).

Allow REDEFINES (multiple input structure references) for a single service request Merged

We need support of JSON draft 4 schema within z/OS Connect, with "anyOf" & "oneOf" as it applies to REDEFINES support in IMS and CICS.

Requirement:

We have a requirement to support multiple redefinitions on input (request). It is our understanding based on a previous RFE that was declined that (for IMS) if this is attempted, then the process is flagged with "For input (request) messages to IMS, the last definition, Group-2, wins."

This RFE is submitted because the below was declined (though considered a valued enhancement - just not a priority) but suggested that in a years time that another be submitted to get it reviewed again.

    Closing as duplicate of RFE 90561:

    However, please note that related plans for the general adoption of Open API Specification 3.0 with z/OS ConnecT EE, which is required to represent the requested JSON data structures at the API level, might prompt IBM to re-visit this requirement independently.
