Mainframe is a not a protocol or standard.What mainframe sub-system do you want to connect to?
Need to connect to CICS Transaction Server hosted on Mainframes
If CTG is installed, then SOAP is possible. If MQ is available, we can use the CICS MQ Bridge. If you have zOS Connect, the direct HTTP+JSON is possible. If only TCP is supported, then I recommend using a JEE container to deploy the CICS Adapter. Have Apigee route requests to the JEE container.
@Srinandan Sridhar Thanks for the response . Can an Soap or Xml based response via WebSphere Mq orchestrated as a JSON response and vice versa for the API consumers
Sure @Karthik
You can use a Java Callout to interface with MQ. Then use existing policies for XML <-> JSON conversion.
