Configuration Assistant access to symbols/variables table

The recent ESP discussed the use of symbols becoming available to Configuration Assistant in z/OS V2R3, these symbols will not be available to all aspects of Config Asst.
Enabling the use of a symbol table by such fields as certificates and certificate labels would allow greater flexibility in creating re-useable rules/traffic descriptors that can be applied across all LPARs where certificates vary in minor ways, such as system name.

My thoughts would be to include a tab on the home page which allows for numerous tables to be created that can be selectively applied to 1 or more stacks. Generation of the rules would then resolve symbols prior to uploading these files.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into product plan.

    It would be useful if this was added to the traffic descriptors in ATTLS as well as we can have different keyrings and cert labels for different environments
