Support wild-cards in the entry point of policy definitions

The customer has thousands of transactions & programs on their environment, and they would like to define a policy rule to monitor them. Without wild-cards support, they need to input the program name one by one, and define multiple entry points. That's is inconvenient, and may caused some errors due to human mistakes.

    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 by CICS Explorer 5.5.0.11 or higher 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 transactionsfrom the policy.

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months, or in the next CICS TS release. Correspondingly 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.

    Same problem here, many trnids and many programs. Our naming conventions could easily be used to define suitable entry points with wildcarding.
