zSecure - Add or Update existing AU.V 'Not empty' report to include DB2 files

We appreciate the capability provided by zSecure Audit 'Verify' to find 'Not empty' profiles and keep the database in a clean state.
However, this report is limited for dataset (profiles) only. Since we migrated all our DB2 access profiles from Db2 internal security to RACF we have thousands of profiles. To keep the database in a clean state we would appreciate if either the 'Not empty' report is extended or a new one created to:
- List all DB2 related Profiles which do not have an associated Database, Index, Table, Buffer Pool and so on.
- Generate the delete commands for the profiles

This is very similar to dataset profiles as the DB2 Profiles protect as well Databases, Tables and so on stored on DASD (like the datasets in the 'Not empty' report). This shall be applicable for profiles associated with 'physical' resources like Buffer Pools, Database (VSAM cluster), Index and so on.
