We have cases where we want the ability to check for a partial user agent string.
Example: Not include the Windows Version.
In those cases it would work if rather than supplying a string length, we could use an * on the end of the string and we compare from the start of the string to the character before the *, e.g.
Example:
IBM_CICS_Explorer/5.4.0.201705302008 IBM_zOS_Explorer/3.1.0.201706061805*
would match
IBM_CICS_Explorer/5.4.0.201705302008 IBM_zOS_Explorer/3.1.0.201706061805 JRE/1.8.0 (Windows 7)
Thanks, Lisa
We would also like the ability to issue a User refined message to indicate that a version is not in the list of supported releases. Example: If a user tries to connect with an unsupported installation release we could have a message like: Unsupported BofA Release sent to the CICS Explorer Screen. It is important that the message is unique from the IBM Unsupported release that a occurs due to an IBM CICS/CICS Explorer version toleration issue.
Additionally; If there is a failure in the Whitelist Configuration we would like the error messages to go to a central location
