zDT - Allow ADCD install to custom path

Allow the location of zOS volumes to be recognized in Tools installed in a custom path. Currently requires the path to be /home/ibmsys1/zDT/adcd. The entire path and specifically adcd directory should be able to user defined, not hard-code and required by Tools.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us; however, we have no plans to change the ADCD default at this time as our understanding is that it is no longer a requirement. If this is not the case, please let us know. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    The adcd volumes should not be required for Tools for a deployment of the adcd volumes to be in a directory named "adcd".

    If additional info and clarification is required, please advise.

    Thank you for submitting this RFE! The IBM team needs some additional information to evaluate this RFE. In the base directory that is specified on the image storage settings page, you are required to create a directory that is labeled adcd. The base directory where the IBM Z Development and Test Environment data is stored on the image storage server can be defined to what ever you set up. It does not have to be in the path /home/ibmsys1/zDT/adcd, only the adcd part is not user defined. Is the issue that you do not want to require the adcd directory? If so, can you please explain the issues?
