Support for policies for API Requesters (to modify basePath or domainBasepath) Merged

In a one zCEE instance setup an apiRequester must be able to target api:s with different basePath in a test/staging scenario. For inbound API requests we use a http-header with policies to route to different IMS/CICS instances. This is the other way around.

For an apiRequester it becomes apparent that the basePath( containing for instance apiConnect different catalogues for different environemnts) must be able to be be dynamically switched.

    How 'strict' is the 12 months resubmission?, I'm two months early, can I resubmit this while I'm on it?
    As for now the effect of lacking this is that we have a workaround to modify the swagger downloaded from ApiConnect to support consuming different testenv/stages/enviroments of api:s dynamically from one zCEE instance. In the workaround the apiRequestor developer must modify swagger heavily:
    -modifiy basePath to /
    -add the 'old' complete base path to the path for 'operations'
    -add parameter to path for 'operations' {endpointEnvironment}
    -add mandatory parameter to all the 'operation:

    {

    "name": "endpointEnvironment",
    "in": "path",
    "required": true,
    "type": "string",
    "description": "needed for swithing api target env dynamically"
    }
    Then we can generate the apiRequestor and be able to provide the environment dynamically from the calling cobol program environment.

    pls let me know if you need more input on 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.
