RELATED IDEAS

In a resource overrides .yaml file, allow multiple attribute values within a single selector clause to be OR'd.

Currently the logic would seem to support 1 attribute value on a given selector clause. If I have a resource attribute which can have many possible values and I want to trap some set of those values and apply the same override to each one, I have to specify a selector clause for each value. Being able to specify a list of values on a single selector clause would make the YAML much less cumbersome.

Looking at my original statement above I realise it is not particularly clear. I have looked at the 'selector mapping' topic, and I realise that multiple attributes may be specified for a given resource. In my case I am wanting to test for multiple possible values for a single attribute, and if any of the values is matched (in other words, ORing of the list), apply an override. I raised case TS009181319 and was informed that to do so I would need to code as per 'current approach' in 'additional details', whereas 'desired approach' seems simpler and more compact.

    I think I have already responded to the comment dated 12 May 2022, but I cannot find a date for my last update, so cannot be sure.

    In my instance I would like to test for multiple values of a single attribute, and the attribute type (ciphers) does not easily lend itself to wildcarding. There are a number of ciphers values which I would like to convert to a single value, thus being able to list them (as per my attached file) and have them OR'd such that any hit within the list would trigger the override, would make the logic more compact and easier to follow.

    You can can specify more than one attribute. In addition we support wildcarding, and NOT condition-operators.

    Please see the section titled "Selector mapping (optional)" in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.6?topic=file-resource-overrides-format

    Does this address the issue ?
