Error description
When the ACE V11 Config File contains a policy for the CICSRequest node, and the node is configured for a three-tier connection using a CICS Transaction Server, this fails validation at start up with this error: BIP3932E: The CICSConnection policy 'CICS Request' cicsServer property contains an invalid URL '<Server Name>'. The CICSConnection policy 'CICS Request' cicsServer property must be a valid URL. The URL must be made up of the structure [protocol]://[hostname]:[port]. Where 'protocol' can be either 'tcp' or 'ssl', 'hostname' must be the IPv4 TCP/IP address or DNS-resolvable hostname of the CICS host, and 'port' is the port number of the TCPIPSERVICE listener in CICS. Correct the CICSConnection policy cicsServer property.
