PH32855: The z/OS Connect EE build toolkit silently ignores a header named "Authorization" from the generated COBOL copybook.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• When using the z/OS Connect EE build toolkit to generate an API
  Requester Archive (.ara file) from a Swagger document which
  includes a header with the name "Authorization", the header is
  not included in the generated output COBOL copybook and no
  message is written to report this.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The z/OS Connect EE build toolkit       *
  *                      silently ignores a header named         *
  *                      "Authorization" from the generated      *
  *                      COBOL copybook.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  If a header called "authorization" (whatever the capitalization)
  is specified in the Swagger document used as input to the build
  toolkit, the generated copybook does not include the
  "authorization" header.
  z/OS Connect EE should ignore the "authorization" header when it
  is specified in the Swagger document because this header is
  not supported. However, the z/OS Connect EE build toolkit should
  issue a message to report when a header has been ignored.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• z/OS Connect EE build toolkit has been updated to write the
  following message when a header is ignored:
  BAQB0049W: Specifying a header parameter with the name
             <header_name> is not supported, the header parameter
             is ignored.
  
  The fix for this APAR is expected to be delivered by the PTF for
  z/OS Connect EE V3.0.50.0 (PH40632).
