Standardize Connect:Direct messages

Currently, Connect:Direct has multiple message qualifiers, making automation difficult. requirement is for the Connect:Direct address-space to use a consolidated standard message prefix

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

I wish to automate using Tivoli System Automation based on message IDs from Connect:Direct, but this is difficult due to the wide range of message prefixes issued by this application.

    Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. I have reviewed it with my team thoroughly. Unfortunately we cannot accept this enhancement as there is a significant dependency between existing message IDs and the various platforms and subsections of code that leverage them. Trying to trigger automation based on the message prefixes would not be feasible.

    Our suggestion would be to leverage the message dialog to lookup details of any message that you receive. That would allow you to identify specific messageIDs that you may want to trigger automation with. I'm sorry that I'm not able to accept this request, but please don't hesitate to open a new enhancement if you have other ideas that we should consider.

    Sincerely,

    Chris Sanders
