z/OS Connect EE Server responds with inappropriate (500) Server Error for dataXform (4xx) Client Errors

Question & Answer


Question

In some cases, why does z/OS Connect Enterpirse Edition (EE) respond with an inappropriate HTTP status codes for (4xx) Client Errors? z/OS Connect returns status code 500 on dataXform error, conflicting with real "Internal Server Error".

For example, on a JSON payload dataXForm error the server responds with an HTTP status code of 500 but should be a (4xx) HTTP status code specific to the JSON payload error.

Answer

This is currently working as designed (coded) from z/OS Connect EE V1. The development team is aware of this problem. An update is currently being designed and planned for a future release of z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition.
