PI76298: ALLOW TO CUSTOMIZE WILDCARD CHARACTERS FOR REDIRECTED RECOVERY MASKING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Now all source/target masks for redirected recovery use constant
  set of wildcard characters: '?' and '_' are treated as any
  single character, '*' and '%' are arbitrary strings. It makes
  actually impossible to change one of these 4 characters to
  something other during the masking.
  To make such masking possible, we should allow user to specify
  arbitrary wildcard characters for the Application profile. 2
  character sets (1 set for single characters, 1 set for arbitrary
  strings) should be defaulted to '?_' and '*%', passed to
  agent/server along with other redirected recovery options and
  taken into account in the backend mask parsing code.
