  Key Concepts: 
  Pattern match is a feature of the BC-CST-IC Internet Communication Manager (ICM) component of SAP. It allows users to define patterns of data that can be used to identify and process incoming requests. The patterns are defined using regular expressions, which are strings of characters that can be used to match certain patterns in data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Pattern match can be used to identify and process incoming requests in a variety of ways. For example, it can be used to identify requests that contain certain keywords or phrases, or to identify requests from specific IP addresses. It can also be used to route requests to different servers based on the pattern that is matched. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining patterns for pattern match, it is important to use the correct syntax for regular expressions. This will ensure that the patterns are correctly matched and that the desired results are achieved. Additionally, it is important to test the patterns before using them in production, as incorrect syntax or incorrect matching can lead to unexpected results.
