z/OSMF zERT-Plugin Allow Configurable Temp.Database

The zERT-Plugin in z/OSMF allows to import SMF Data Type 119 Subtype 12.
Reports can be used to get an overview to non-secured ports and to be able to plan activity to close / reconfigure such critical connections.
Each Report uses multible Tables in Default-Database DSNDB04 in DB2, which currently gives each table in a new Database DSN<5 digits>.
After closing the zERT-Session all temporary Tables are gone, only the empty Databases remains.
Please allow a configurable DATABASE-Name for those tables.

    Giving a Database would make the job for the db2 administrator much easier.
    The Tables are currently always deleted after Session Close in zERT-Plugin, which is ok. Old Reports
    So this would be the perfect candidate for NOT to reorg, NOT to imagecopy in this Database.
    And you have NOT do delete many many empty databases named DSN0nnnn.
