CTG COBOL Batch interface like BAQCSTUB - CTGCSTUB.

Rather than using Batch COBOL EXCI to single CICS region, have a COBOL Call interface like zCEE BAQCSTUB. This would allow for CPSM Workload distribution, across target Batch Processing regions. Topology of (Batch Owning Region),.. BOR --> AOR ...

Enable SSL connections to Db2 z/OS for DWC

Security policy requires TCP/IP connections to Db2 for z/OS to be encrypted. Db2 systems may be customized with SECPORT only (no TCPPORT). Currently, configureDB.sh with RDBMS=DB2Z does not support DB_SSL_CONNECTION=true.
