  • 1.  z/OS Connect Restful Admin interface

    Posted Mon April 07, 2025 05:55 AM

    As part of our deployment pipeline for z/OS Connect 2.0 provider api's we use the Restful Admin interface in z/OS Connect.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos-connect/3.0.0?topic=apis-using-restful-administration-interface

    We have just started to use z/OS Connect 3.0 in connection with API Requester functionality.

    We can't find any information about the Restful Aadministration Interface for z/OS Connect 3.0(openapi 3) ?  Is it not available in the 'new' version of z/OS Connect?

    The admin API that where available with OpenAPI2 are not applicable for the way OpenAPI3 artifacts are deployed

    OpenAPI3 artifact is a standard J2EE war file, and these are managed in the same way you manage any war file in a Liberty server 

    You can use MBeans for example if you wanted to action the war file application

    As mentioned there are no REST APIs in OpenAPI3 to do API admin.

    See this link which describes how you would manage deployment of OpenAPI3 in a server

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos-connect/3.0.0?topic=30-deploying-apis

    That link leads to

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos-connect/3.0.0?topic=building-zos-connect-apis-gradle

    and shows that you use

    <webApplication location="/config/apps/EmployeesApi.war" name="EmployeesApi" contextRoot="/EmployeesApi"/>
