Client IP address and port enhancement for CTG on z/OS transactions

IP addresses and ports of CICS transactions coming from CTG on z/OS are unavailable in DFHCICS 372 (SMF 110). We can get the addresses from CTG log, but that is hard to report on. We can turn on CTG request exit to get more information, that's an added overhead, the data is also is difficult to report on.

Data is unavailable in CPSM, Omegamon/CICS and SMF 110 or 111 (CTG).

    This function is available if the CTG is using IPIC to communicate with CICS rather than EXCI. The origin can be data passed with IPIC, and will reflect the IP address of the remote CTG client in the ODCLNTIPADDR, and also the ODAPPLID and ODNETID can be populated with the client identity using the Client Applid & Qualifier properties, see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZHJ2_9.1.0/configuring/topics/client_applid_and_qual.html.
