Add connection reference property to CICS service provider

At JPM all CICS services defined with the toolkit have connection reference “catalog”, I suppose because of the IBM example application. I cannot change that, all services are created with that dummy connection reference.

If I had to change it dynamically, I use a policy and set a variable connName in the header to set it I the request for example.

But for IMS and DB2 there is a property to change it in the server.xml. But not for CICS services.

Is it possible to add a server.xml connectionRef override for CICS services?

Regards
