Enhance CICSPA Logger report for Parallel SYSPLEX environment

The Logger report generated by CICSPA in the current releases (we are using V5.3) is not suitable for parallel Sysplex environment. As per https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSPPU4_5.2.0/cpaug76.html :
" To obtain a sysplex-wide view of System Logger activity, correct processing for most SMF 88 data fields is to sum the field contents for the target interval across all the SMF 88 records produced in the sysplex. There are, however, exceptions to this rule. Because each system must take its own action — that is, wait for an ENF signal indicating that System Logger is available — an analysis program should use the maximum value for these fields: SMF88ERI, SMF88ERC, and SMF88ESF. For example, if a structure rebuild is initiated in a sysplex with three systems, the event is recorded on all three systems. The correct number of structure rebuild initiations is not three, but one or the maximum number provided SMF88ERI. "

Please consider adding this enhancement in CICSPA.
