Developer for System z, Version 7.6.x

# Application Deployment Manager

- Added functions to create an empty Application Deployment Manager manifest in Eclipse projects and z/OS® projects.
- Enhanced Application Deployment Manager to handle a subset of new functions supported by CICS® Explorer.
- Created a connection type for REST to let you use of both REST and SOAP protocols CICS Resource Definition server connections.
- Limitation: Filtering resources within CICS Explorer views when connected to a CICS Resource Definition server is limited to the name of the resource.
- Limitation: Connections to a CICS Resource Definition server using the Web services connection type do not support new CICS resource types such as bundles, XML transforms, and event bindings.
- Limitation: Only regions that host a CICS Resource Definition server (connection regions) are listed in dialogs that generate code or CICS resources such as EST and SCA.

  Regions connected to those connection regions are not listed in the generation dialogs. Therefore generated artifacts can be deployed only to the region that runs the CICS Resource Definition server. CICS resources can be in defined, installed, and discarded from other regions through the Application Deployment Manifest Editor by selecting a different target region while editing a manifest. The New ADM Manifest dialogs available from the File menu and z/OS project pop-up menu support creating ADM manifests that are on not in the same region as the CICS Resource Definition server.

- Limitation: To change the password of an existing connection to a CICS Resource Definition (CRD) server, you may need to alter the user ID to a nonexistent ID, click the Apply button, change the user ID back, and then click the Connect button. This action causes the connection dialog to prompt for a new password.
