Enhance Toolkit to allow for JCL distribution to multiple agents

The OMEGAMON Toolkit allows for storage administrators to create all variety of jobs or commands, launch them to the operating environment and review the results. Administrators of very large environments often need to direct these jobs or commands to multiple or all environments under their control. The Toolkit allows no mechanism for defining such a distribution. In addition to enhancing the flexibility to distribute toolkit actions it would also be good to develop enhanced Toolkit queries that would allow group viewing of output generated by these actions in a single location. That way a storage administrator can initiate one function that spawns potentially hundreds of similar actions across their enterprise and from one view examine the results.

    This feature is being added to the OMEGAMON for Storage roadmap. Actual implementation may differ from the request above, however the desired outcome should be the same.
