Web Console Uproc Name Filter Returns Unexpected Results

Issue/Introduction
When using a filter on Uproc names with the pipe | separator, the results include partial matches. For example, filtering for UPROC1|UPROC2 returns UPROC1_OLD or UPROC1_COPY, which were not intended.
Environment
- CA Automic Dollar Universe
- Automic Web Console
Cause
The filter input in the Web Console is validated using Regular Expressions (Regex). Without anchors, the filter treats the input as a "contains" search. For instance, UPROC1 is found within the string UPROC1_OLD, so the system considers it a match.
Resolution
To ensure an exact match for each specific Uproc and exclude variations, use the dollar sign $ anchor within a grouped regex pattern. The $ anchor specifies that the match must occur at the end of the string.
(UPROC1$|UPROC2$)
By wrapping the Uproc names in parentheses and appending the $ anchor to each, the filter will only return the exact names requested
