FA plugin must automatically add default hsitory files to a system

When a user adds a system entry to the Fault Analyser Objects View he needs to add the default history file dataset manually.
This is a problem for users who do not know the default history files on all the systems. FA Plugin should provide a method to add that file name automatically.
It is specified in the IDICNFxx parmlib member.
The RMB menu entry 'Get last accessed history files' is not useful for this because it requires that the user used FA on 3270 before.

    Thank you for raising the RFE. We have implemented an automatic request to add the default history file when connecting to a z/OS Host system using the Systems Information view. This feature will be available in the Fault Analyzer plug-in from release 13.1.0.17 (released 3rd of June 2015) and will require a future host PTF (APAR PI40802) targeted for the end of June 2015.

    More and more users are only working with RDz,
    so no usable config from ISPF profile could be used.
    And to tell them they have to connect to port 2800 is easy,
    but how to select the Address space and which file to use is difficult.
    And if a user want to access another history file, then he is an experienced one and knows the filenames (or know how to get the name).
