Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this idea has been in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. Although initially raised before policies were introduced into the product architecture at v11, the conceptual suggestion is still relevant to ACE ... As noted, it is currently possible that a TCPClientOutput node's host and port can be replaced with the name of a policy in a policy project to dynamically specify where the TCPClientOutput node connects to, but unfortunately the LocalEnvironment overrides only allow host and port to be overridden rather than a policy name. This still sounds a valid future requirement and whilst we have not yet managed to prioritize a business case for this feature, we will maintain its status as Future Consideration for now.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
Good requirement, thanks for raising. Completely understand the need here - as you say, having to configure multiple output nodes when you are connecting dynamically to SSL-based servers is not ideal. This would be a relatively simple feature to implement, and will look to do so with the next raft of TCP/IP enhancements in a follow-on release or fixpack.
