We’ve just released V3.0.38 of z/OS Connect EE and z/OS Connect EE Unlimited.
In this release we have enhanced support for IMS large data structures, and added trace to the CICS communication stub.
Enhanced support for IMS large data structures
The
z/OS Connect EE API toolkit and server runtime have been enhanced to support COBOL and PL/I data structures for IMS messages longer than 32K and have LL, ZZ, and TRANCODE fields in the request data structure, and have LL and ZZ fields in the response data structure.
To use this feature with this version of the runtime, you must upgrade your API toolkit to 3.0.8.7/3.2.8.7.

CICS Communication stub trace
For users of the API requester CICS® communication stub
z/OS Connect EE has been updated to generate CICS application user trace which can be enabled by using the trace facilities of the CICS region in which the stub runs. This trace capability is useful for application development and problem determination.

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 V3.0.8.7 for Aqua 3.1 users, and V3.2.8.7 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.
