Please replace SYSPLEX_NAME lookup table with SMF30SYP

The SYSPLEX lookup table is obsolete for tables that read from SMF type 30 records that already include the SMF30SYP field.

It would be acceptable to us if the collect process read directly from this field where possible, or allow the collect jobs to populate the SYSPLEX_NAME lookup table automatically from SMF_030 records the same way DB2_ACCUMAC is automatically populated.
