z/OSMF Software Management Remote Deploy without Specification of Storage Class or Volume

When we use z/OSMF remote software deployment we have to specify storage classes for the source and target systems. We have a lot of target systems with a lot of storage classes and would like to let the ACS routines select the proper storage class. Therefore we should not be forced to specify the proper storage class for each target system in the z/OSMF modify data set dialog. There should be the possibility to let the storage class field empty and let the ACS routines on the target systems select the proper SMS classes for a data set.
This should also apply to the define job settings target system dialog for the work data sets.

    z/OSMF Software Management has been updated to no longer require a target volume or storage class to indicate the location for target data sets in a deployment operation. The Modify Data Sets page now provides three options for the target data set location: (1) Volume, (2) Storage Class, (3) System Determined. The new option, System Determined, allows the target data sets to be allocated without specifying either a volume or a storclass, thus allowing ACS routines to determine a data set's location.

    This new capability is in the base for z/OSMF 2.5 and with PTFs UI73599 and UI73600 for z/OSMF V2.3 and V2.4.
