z/OS Connect - EntireX - Natural integration

It is requested to enhance the z/OS Connect product to provide API-REST interfaces to Natural modules and to allow API-REST interfaces to be invoked from Natural modules.
Currently, the product is designed to provide API-REST interfaces to COBOL programs.
EntireX would enable the requested integration, as EntireX allows the execution of Natural modules from COBOL programs.
However, the COBOL programs generated by zOS Connect for implementing an API-REST interface are not adapted to the COBOL programs required by EntireX for invoking a Natural program.
Since both products, z/OS Connect and EntireX, are currently owned by IBM, this integration enhancement is requested to allow interconnection between both environments.
