RRS allows you to use wildcard characters in strings to specify:

• Resource manager names (RMNAME)
• Work manager names (WMNAME)
• RRS logging group names (GNAME)
• System names (SYSNAME)
• Logical unit of work identifiers (LUWIDSTR)
• Global transaction identifiers (GTIDSTR)
• Unit of recovery identifiers (URIDSTR)
• Sysplex unit of recovery identifiers (SURID) (On UR panels)

The character string you specify can contain two types of wildcard characters. An asterisk (*) represents any string having a length of zero or more characters. A question mark (?) represents a position which may contain any single character. Using wildcards allows you to quickly and conveniently obtain sets of similar or related pieces of RRS information. See ATRQUERY — Obtain RRS Information for more information about the ATRQUERY parameters that allow wildcards.

Examples using wildcards:

• Work manager or resource manager name: ATR.*.IBM
• Logical unit of work identifier: A?CD.DEF*,*,*
• Global transaction identifier: 003?234*
