Include Websphere application names (SMF1209EY)

The original request was to add Websphere application names. The customer added this text in a later email. I decided to look at Vision WebSphere reporting to see what is there as opposed to what was originally requested (and we still need). <d...

zHyperlink Threshold formulation, adjust thresholds

Selecting some charts (e.g. Page Frames) is useful to do per CEC. Currently, a manual filter needs to be set. We should add the CEC name to the appropriate tables, even though it may not be in the specific SMF record.

Some charts make more sense when viewed at a CEC level. Real storage is an example. Currently, the customer needs to ensure that they manually set a filter to limit the reporting to a specific CEC. We should simply support the CEC name as an addit...

When adding multiple metrics to a chart, we always go back to the top of the list. We should reshow the list after the last metric that was added (they are shown alphabetically).

Add one decimal place to the reported CP Weight value, e.g. 31.4% instead of current 31%.
