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.
