We’ve just released V3.0.37 of z/OS Connect EE and z/OS Connect EE Unlimited.
In this release we have added dynamic routing capability for CICS users of API requester, and enhanced the performance of the REST client service provider.
Dynamic routing capability for CICS users of API requester
When a CICS® application is developed to call a RESTful service, the
z/OS Connect EE server that is used to process the request can be chosen at run time within the CICS application. This option allows for splitting of workloads between servers, for example, based on business area. This dynamic routing capability is only available for CICS applications, and uses URIMAPs.

Enhanced performance of the REST client service provider
The REST client service provider that is supplied with
z/OS Connect EE to connect to an HTTP endpoint such as a Db2® native REST service, has been enhanced to provide improved performance.
WebSphere Liberty Profile V20.0.0.6
The version of WebSphere Liberty Profile that is embedded in z/OS Connect EE V3.0.37 is V20.0.0.6.
Angel V14
The version of the angel shipped with WebSphere Liberty Profile V20.0.0.6 is version 14.
You are advised to update your system so that your z/OS Connect EE server uses this version of the angel. If you choose not to update to this level of the angel, then the following warning message will appear in your messages.log file:
CWWKB0127W: The current angel version is earlier than the version that the server expects. Update the angel version to the latest available version.

API toolkit versions
The latest version of the z/OS Connect EE API toolkit plug-in to design and create your services and APIs is V3.0.8.6 for Aqua 3.1 users, and V3.2.8.6 for Aqua 3.2 users. You are recommended to use the latest version of the API toolkit for your version of Aqua as it includes all the latest features and fixes.
If unzipping the API toolkit zip file on Windows, due to the long filenames of some of the file members, you are recommended to use a tool such as 7-Zip or the “jar -x” command. Do not use winzip, winrar, or the Windows own zip extraction tool, as warnings/errors will occur during the unzip and the API toolkit will be unusable.
