ETT Job Triggering should consider destination

This idea relates to the topic of ETT triggering based on jobs that run on a system not under zWS control. Especially in larger environments with multiple zWS trackers connected to the controller, it would be necessary to consider for ETT job triggering not only the jobname but also the destination, from which the event was created. 

This is useful in cases (like in our environment) when jobs are generated dynamically by other applications and the jobname may be the same on different systems. In this case you can only define one trigger, but maybe you don't want, that JOB1 on SYSA should trigger the same application as JOB1 on SYSB.

Also, if you want to integrate more different customers in one zWS system, you must always take care that there are no jobs running for customer A which could be a trigger for an ETT of customer B. If the destination was considered accordingly, that's not a problem.
