We have released V3.0.76 of IBM z/OS Connect with real time monitoring capability for API requester in z/OS Connect OpenAPI 3 native servers, maintenance fixes PH58357 for z/OS Connect OpenAPI 3 and PH56577 for z/OS Connect OpenAPI 2. For more information, see PH58281: z/OS Connect V3.0.76 and if you’re new to IBM z/OS Connect, find out more here.

Enhancements

From today, z/OS Connect API requester data is now available in OpenAPI 3 native servers, using the z/OS Connect OpenAPI 2 interceptor interfaces. This means you can now monitor z/OS Connect OpenAPI 3 requests in real time, with the exception that early failure data is not available. You can use the monitoring tools that you are currently using for z/OS Connect OpenAPI 2 monitoring. For more information, see Using a real-time monitoring product.
Additionally, the audit interceptor can be configured in z/OS Connect OpenAPI 3 native servers to capture SMF 123 subtype 2 V2 records for API requester. This allows you to harness a variety of analysis tools to interpret the information for tracking, audit, or billing purposes. For more information, see Using SMF records to monitor requests.
More server templates to create z/OS Connect servers to run the completed API provider tutorials. For more information about the server templates, see Supplied server templates and for the tutorials, see Getting Started tutorials.
The version of the API provider Gradle plug-in is upgraded to V1.4.0.
The version of the API requester Gradle plug-in is upgraded to V1.1.0.
IBM z/OS Connect V3.0.76 is compatible with API toolkit V3.2.9.14 and V3.3.0.3.
