Option in IA to use applid or region id in Explorer integration queries.

In CICS IA the data is collected against the CICS APPLID and that is correct. Currently the integration from CICS Explorer to CICS IA uses the applid. It would be good if CICS IA could provide an option setting to use region name or applid in the query.

    We have considered this request and note that trying to use data collected in one environment to analyze for a different environment could be confusing. Also, this is not something that has been raised by any other customer.
