z/OS Connect 3.0.83 is now available with enhancements to the documentation for configuring and securing connections to Db2 and IMS systems and how to obtain access tokens from an authentication server for API requester in addition to a maintenance fix for z/OS Connect OpenAPI2. For more information, see PH61907: z/OS Connect V3.0.83. If you’re new to IBM z/OS Connect, find out more here.  

Enhancements

• The documentation that describes how to obtain a JWT from an authentication server for API requester has been updated to show that access tokens that are not JWTs can also be obtained by using the zosconnect_authToken configuration. For more information, see Calling an authentication server.
• The documentation for configuring and securing connections to Db2 and IMS systems are enhanced to make it easier to create these connections for APIs that target those systems. For more information, see Configuring a connection to Db2 and Configuring a connection to IMS.
• The version of Liberty that is embedded in IBM z/OS Connect is upgraded to 24.0.0.6. For more information, see What is new in this release of Liberty in the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Liberty documentation.
• The version of the API provider Gradle plug-in is upgraded to 1.4.4.
• The version of the API requester Gradle plug-in is upgraded to 1.1.5.

Fixes

• PH59225 (OpenAPI 2 only): Intermittently, the tracking token sent by z/OS Connect does not match the tracking token for the corresponding IMS transaction. This means that the tracking token cannot be used to associate the two parts of the request.
