Allow to correlate JVM SMF Data to a Job and Step to allow analyse SMF 121 in large Batch environments

We need a way to understand which JOB a SMF121 record belongs to, to understand what caused an abnormal behaviour. Therefore a SMF30COR field could be part of the SMF121 record, we would still need to understand what Jobstep is the SMF121 Record for, as we in future maybe have several JVMs in a single job (even though not more than 1 per step). This would make it much more easy to corelate than the PID that sits in the SMF121JRS_NAME field. We would not need the PID anymore directly, it could still be gathered via the SMF30COR field in the USS SMF records.

 Business Impact:
In an environement where a high number of batch jobs are executed and over time more Java is used a clear analyis is crucial. Therefore the SMF121 records need to be analysed regularly and if anything is suspicious we need to understand what JOB originated the request from. This is very essential for our Java on z/OS journey
