Start of change
IMS Mobile Feature Pack for z/OS Connect is no longer enhanced. Instead, use the IMS service provider that is included in IBM z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V2.0.5 (APAR PI70432) or later, which not only supports later releases of the Liberty server but additionally provides support for REST API creation and deployment. For the latest IMS mobile solution information, see Using the IMS service provider in z/OS Connect EE documentation.
