enable wildcards in policy condition values

We would like the ability to use wildcard characters within a policy condition for example:

<conditions>

<header

name="imstran" value="TRAN%A"

/>

</conditions>


Where % is a single character wild card.

This would be beneficial for dynamically routing transactions to different IMS environments in our environment.
This would remove the need to list transactions within the policy and have to maintain that list going forward.

Impossibility to router the software to multiple software in the same LPAR.

Merged
The routing service works only for a single software for every LPARs, but connecting the software to multiple software in the same Logical Partition is impossible. This is a huge limitation that is limiting the flexibility of the software.
