  Previously delivered APAR PH14688/UI65644 allowed copying
  existing services from a source Db2 system to a remote Db2
  server.  However, there is no method of remotely freeing the
  newly copied services on the target server.  To do this
  required the DBA to log onto the target server in order to
  perform a DSN FREE SERVICE.  Another method is to invoke the
  DROP SERVICE API through a Rest client at the target server.
  A method of remotely freeing a native Restful service can
  improve usability and ease of deploying services across
  systems.
  This APAR allows a user to specify location-name in the DSN
  FREE SERVICE command.  The location-name specifies the location
  of the target Db2 server where the service is to be freed.
  
  Before you begin:
  - See FREE SERVICE (DSN) for information about required
    authorization to issue the FREE SERVICE subcommand.
  - Both the local and remote server must be at least Db2 12
    with this APAR applied.
  The following example frees the REST service
  "payroll"."getEmployeeSalary" with a version-id of Ver2, on a
  remote server with the location-name PRODSYS:
  FREE SERVICE(PRODSYS."payroll"."getEmployeeSalary".(Ver2))
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• This APAR allows a user to specify location-name in the DSN
  FREE SERVICE command.  The location-name specifies the
  location of the target Db2 server where the service is to be
  freed.  Refer to the Db2 for z/OS documentation in the IBM
  Knowledge Center for complete information about the updated
  Db2 native REST services support.
