Re: DB2 REST Services on IBMi?

I saw that a V7.3 PTF has been released, maybe its close:
SI69902 - OSP-IWS Enable SQL as APIs


https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas3SI69902 <https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas3SI69902>

APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
Enable SQL as REST APIs.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE71235 :
-----------------------------
This PTF enables SQL statements to be exposed as REST APIs.
Ensure you have the latest HTTP group PTF to ensure all the
pieces of the support is installed. More information may be
found at the IWS web site:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1026868 <http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1026868>


The site did not appear to be updated yet. Maybe too early.

I am not sure about whether IBM i has an equivalent feature as described
in URL you specified, but in 7.4 you will be able to externalize SQL
statements as APIs using integrated web services server[1]. This support
will also be PTF'ed back into 7.3 (and maybe 7.2) in the very near future.
More information will be forthcoming but stay tuned for the latest HTTP
group PTFs.

I see that DB2 now has built-in REST services.

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPEK_11.0.0/
restserv/src/tpc/db2z_restservices.html

I know DB2 for I has HTTP services, which we can use to consume
RESTful APIs. I am asking here about the REST services in DB2-
assuming that the REST services and the HTTP APIs are different.

Does DB2 for i have the REST services? If not, are there plans to
bring the REST services to DB2 for i in the near future?

Thanks,

Kelly Cookson
