REST Services Extensions

A checkin request typically references a temporary file or data set that contains the source content to be stored in a ChangeMan package. For REST Services clients, content may now be included in the HTTP Request body.

The REST Services checkin extension:

  1. Permits a new value to be specified for the chkinSourceLocation parameter. This parameter may be set to 'B' to indicate content is included in the request body.

  2. Adds a new parameter "codepage" to the checkin request. This parameter identifies the code page of the included content. Content is translated to the ChangeMan codepage by REST Services. The default value is UTF-8.

  3. Validates that the package component is locked by the user issuing the checkin request. This validation may be disabled by specifying CHECKIN_LOCK_REQUIRED=N as a REST Services parameter in the ZMFPARMS data set.

  4. Validates that the package component is not being edited by another user. This validation may be disabled by specifying CHECKIN_TEST_ENQUEUE=N as a REST Services parameter in the ZMFPARMS data set.
