JSON configuration

You can configure the Mainframe Connector transcoder's JSON formatting by adding the required configuration in a JSON file, and specifying this file using the --input-parameter json-dialect=DataPath option with the qsam encode or qsam decode commands. You must define the JSON configuration as specified in section JsonConfiguration.

This page describes the various JSON parameters you can configure as input parameters for transcoding. The JsonConfiguration object contains all JSON encoder and decoder configuration options.
