Need more control over the SYSPLEX/PLEXVIEW proxy selection process

Currently the SYSPLEX/PLEXVIEW proxy is selected by chance and as a result it happens regularly that the selected proxy runs on a low resource LPAR (limited MSU availability and additional heavily used) which then slows data display in the Enhanced 3270 and/or causes timeouts when retrieving that data!

Suggest to add a weight option; something like a having parameter in the KDSENV member, for example KDS_CMS_WEIGHT=value (say a 1, 2 or 3 value) where a value of 1 means preferred proxy, 2 means
acceptable proxy only when 1 value proxies are available and 3 means don't use unless absolutely the last one available. (Kind of like
having production, acceptance and test environments). Of course as soon as a lower valued proxy becomes available Omegamon should then switch to that proxy (unless it is already using a proxy of the same value).

Additionally there should be a command (modify command?) to manually force a proxy switch when the active SYSPLEX/PLEXVIEW proxy becomes confused and fails not have to latest/correct SYSPLEX names!
