Using wildcard characters

z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex
SA23-1399-00

The ELEMENT_NAME and ELEMENT parameters can contain wildcard characters. The wildcard characters are:
?
A question mark matches one and only one character, and can be specified more than once anywhere in the name.
*
An asterisk matches a series of characters, and can be specified only at the end of a name.

These characters allow a single set of element-related parameters in a policy to apply to multiple elements with similar names and needs.

If two or more element names with wildcard characters in a policy match the name of the element being restarted, the most specific takes priority. For example, if MVS™ is restarting ELEM1, and the policy contains elements with the names: ELEM?, ELEM*, and ELEM1*, the information for ELEM1* will be used.
