Policy Rule to use Header value simply IF header is present

Today we can create rules to take action based on Conditions with EQUAL, AND, and OR operations.
for example:
<conditions>
<header name="cicsTran" value="KE18,KE20"/>
</conditions>
<actions>
<set property="cicsTransId" value="${cicsTran}"/>
</actions>
</rule>

If we want to run the same service provider under multiple tranids, besides the SAR tranid, we must add these, explicity to the rule.

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.40 / APAR PH30597:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH30597

    z/OS Connect EE is enhanced so a policy rule can be configured to perform an action when a specific header is present on an API request, regardless of the value of that header.

    For further details about triggering a policy rule if a header is present, refer to Example 5 in the “Format of a rule set” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4SVW_3.0.0/administering/ruleset_format.html

    Similar use case, arrived to the same logical solution. There will be some 300 APIs x 10 countries, ~3000 unique transaction ids, at minimum. CICS can handle that with autoinstall. But not zCEE.


    We want to be able to use one global policy, and avoid manual coding and maintenance of massive number of local policies and rulesets. We don't know, and don't want to know and code, all possible values.

    OPTIONAL: In addition to the previous recommendations, maybe use a special character, in example "+", for an exact character place.

    Examples: <++++> for any 4 characters but must be 4, any character at pos 3, any characters an pos 3 and 4, etc.
