SMF123 V2 don't capture info about API Requesters

We tried to replace the auditInterceptor with the new auditinterceptorV2 but this does not capture information from the API Requesters , forcing us to use the auditinterceptorV2 at the global level and the auditinterceptor specifically in zosconnect_apiRequesters

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.45 / APAR PH36068:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH36068

    You can now configure z/OS Connect EE to record SMF 123 subtype 2 version 2 records, which provide more detailed information about API requester requests. Do not enable recording of subtype 2 version 2 records until all the products you use to process your SMF records support this new subtype.

    For further details about SMF 123 subtype 2 version 2, refer to the “API requester data from SMF type 123 subtype 2 version 2 records” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Documentation:
