This requirement has been re-evaluated. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
I voted for the RFE, because it is very inconvenient to add each transaction id to a transaction group whenever you define a new transaction in CICS and want to use workload routing mechanisms. If transaction groups would support wildcard characters you could easily define transaction groups like 'X*' to add each transaction starting with an 'X' to this transaction group automatically.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
I voted this for customer CCB in China. CCB wants to use WLM function workload separation by transaction ID, and they found they have to add transaction id to a transaction group one by one. They have thousands of transactions in their system and it's easy to miss some one in this process. So they want the transaction group can support wildcard characters.
This is something we would consider for a future release.
