ADDI - Support CA7 Event based triggering

AD currently does not recognize CA7 Event Job Scheduling in it's batch flow analysis.
The team has been discussing / reviewing this ask with IBM partners - Luci P, Gord P, Rami Katan;

'Apr 16 - had meeting with IBM dev team, Further discussions had on TDU7POST - Ranjith to provide examples. A new RFE will be created for this work package / item.
'* There is a TDU7POST process, which is used in a small subset of program/jobs. We are gathering more details for that process which seems to be a combination of home grown code and CA7. We will update you later once we have more details around it. IBM team mentioned that there is a possibility that an 'extension' could be created to accommodate this Home Grown CA7 Triggering '
Apr 19 - Ranjith sent examples of TDU7POST to IBM team (JDASP05X)
Apr 27 - meeting with IBM partners, Rami reviewed his understanding & proposal on what / how ADDI would graph the scheduling flows that have TDU7POST. Proposal / understanding was agreed upon. Ranjith will provide BIP TDU7POST examples also. (Note: this RFE is priority over ARFSET)
Apr 30 - Rami & Ranjith have meeting setup to review TDU7POST examples / usage in detail
May 12 - meeting with IBM partners, Rami has some additional questions (see email) - these will be reviewed in a separate technical meeting with Ranjith & Mohamed, Had discussion on the naming / resolution of this item - the resolution is identifiying the Event Triggering for the flow which makes it not unique to TD. This is a resolution for other companies - this is good. With this RFE - the 'Event triggering' and usuage of TDU7POST will be addressed.
May 27 - meeting with IBM partners, between then & now Ranjith & Rami have exchanged examples and Q&A, no further questions at this time. Jerry to create RFE. Next meeting(s) will be adhoc as questions / progress is made. ETA of this RFE is 3rd quarter.

    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12-24 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
