Provide CADP profile functionality in DTCN

The CADP tool allows for multiple profiles named uniquely all grouped by the user ID, but DTCN is at a disadvantage because you can only store up to 8 pairs of load module and compile units per user ID. This means that if a CADP user had hundreds of profiles that they would use often, the DTCN tool would not support that user if their shop converted off the CADP interface. Additionally, DTCN does not allow the Applid to be displayed in the plug-in for the GUI version which could be used as another grouping mechanism since most developers have a need to test different applications by a specific CICS region.

    Multiple profiles can be configured in the new profile UI delivered via 14.2.2.
    More than 8 pairs of compile units and load modules will not be provided, as it is not within strategic direction.

    The RFE actually contains two requirements.
    :
    Support multiple profiles per user
    This requirement is currently supported by the DTCN plug-in.  However the amount of rework to support this feature in the DTCN 3270 (or MFI) is considerable.  At this point in time development will not be implementing this part of the requirement as more of our customer base is moving from the 3270 to the GUI interface.
     .
    Support APPLID in DTCN plug-in
    Work on the DTCN plug-in to support APPLID has already started.
    A second development effort will include adding APPLID to the DTCN MFI.
