The shared connections were introduced in WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 and at the time unshared was the default. In general, the behavior of shared connection is sharing the connection with different threads. It is dependent on the application design. The shareable and unshareable is defined inside the resource reference. There are two ways you can define shareable connections, you can use direct naming lookup during deployment of the application, which will default to shareable, or you can create a resource reference and...

  Do you still have an older DGW HTTP server on z/OS that you have to keep going while making the transition to the newer Apache based HTTP Server? Are you having problems enabling TLSv1.x?   Most browsers are now using only the higher TLS protocols, such as TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2, so your server has to be set up to support those protocols. System SSL added support for TSL V1.1 and TLS V1.2 quite some time ago. Since the IHS V5.3 uses System SSL for SSL Handshakes, you probably reviewed APAR PK53555 and consulted the " HTTP Server...
