for zOS Connect similar to ZCEE-I-160 we need the PATCH option for OAS2. We don't have the ability to run API 3.0 and our users are trying to access vendors that use PATCH.

So there are 3 HTTP methods that are not supported PATCH, TRACE, CONNECT. While TRACE and CONNECT are not that common in APIs, the PATCH HTTP method is more and more used. If only a set of values need to be updated, PATCH would be a more efficient alternative than PUT.

In z/OS Connect EE, when the communication stub sends a request with a PATCH method, the response from z/OS Connect EE is:


{"errorMessage":"BAQR1140E: Error occurred when z/OS Connect EE attempted to access a RESTful API.

Error: BAQR1140E: Error occurred when z/OS Connect EE attempted to access a RESTful API.

Error: The method PATCH is not supported by RestClient."}

JAX-RS 2.0 does not support PATCH, but JAX-RS 2.1 does. It would be great if z/OS Connect EE could rely on JAX-RS 2.1 and add support to PATCH (then the supported inbound and outbound HTTP methods would be the same).
