Application Discovery: Add support duplicated section names on COBOL

Currently Application Discovery does not supportduplicated section names on COBOL, as they are saved into the database as a parent structure for the statements contained.

ADDI and filters

It would be nice if filters could be used to select library members to be read into ADDI. This is not possible in Build Configuration for JCL's for example.It is possible in Build Client later in the process but that is a bit late.

Source Files: unclear if there is flowchart/program flow graphs even if COBOL/PLI source file is listed in analyze client UI

After a build, COBOL/PLI source files appear in AD analyze for user to view flowcharts, program flow, module call graph. There is no indicator that a Source File has the flowchart, and program flow graph, so user would need to do trial and error. ...

Insufficient display of a nested UP for the external program in all views

If you look at the call graph of a program in which nested subroutine (UP) are implemented, the name of the nested UPs is linked to the outer program name. The assignment of the nested UP with the external program is displayed not only in the grap...

Display and search for artifact names that differ from the program ID

Currently, resources in the client are represented in the artifact using the program ID. A search and analysis based on the program ID enables quick success if the name of the program is used at execution time. If artifact names differ from the pr...
