  ****************************************************************
  Configuring z/OS Connect within CICS can be problematic, and can
  require duplicate configuration information for each product.
  The use of z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition is especially
  problematic, CICS URIMAP resources limit the ability to have
  multiple Services associated with the same URI within a single
  API.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• CICS is changed so that URIMAP resources are no longer
  mandatory. In the absence of a URIMAP that identifies the target
  WEBSERVICE for a given URI, CICS allows z/OS Connect to resolve
  the name of the Service; CICS will attempt to use a WEBSERVICE
  with the same name as the z/OS Connect Service. CICS is also
  changed to automatically inject Service definitions into z/OS
  Connect for each WEBSERVICE that is installed. This avoids the
  need for editing server.xml for typical deployment scenarios.
  
  The CICS Knowledge Center will be updated with new information
  covering the use of z/OS Connect within CICS.
