Excluding transactions from a policy

ICBC wants to use the policy to limit the DB2 requests, CPU time and storage, but they haven't adopt CICS cloud yet, then they need to use policy with region scope. And there are some transactions in their system need to long run, or need to access more DB2, storage than general ones, which need to be excluded from the policy.

So raise this RFE to require a new function to exclude a list of transactions from a policy.

    The APAR mentioned does not satisfy the requirement. It is necessary to be able to specify transactions in a more flexible way with the ability to add "AND" / "OR" and to be able to include specific or generic transactions even if they do not start with the same characters, and for any username.

    This RFE is satisfied by APAR PH26145 which is available on CICS TS 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6. The policy editor support is provided bi CICS Explorer 5.5.0.11 which can be used with all these CICS TS releases.

    The policy task rules editor now allows you to specify a filter of transid and userid for all existing task rules. You can set conditions of equals, does not equal, starts with, or does not start with. This allows for support of specific transaction ids or user ids, also wildcarding, plus the ability to include or exclude transactions or sets of transactions from the policy.
