IBM i QMGTOOLS RUNAA request parameter enhancement

For the QMGTOOLS RUNAA command, add the value *IODD to the list of currently available request values (See
http://www-01.ibm.comsupportdocview.wss?uid=nas8N1010377)

When run via System Service Tools - Advanced Analysis, the IODD macro supports a large number of functions. If the *IODD request can be added to the allowed requests for the RUNAA command, enable at least the following data values:
- getMeasurements <resourceName> [MP],
- getCounts <rscname>

Even better would be to allow for all the IODD functions to be specified via the RUNAA command.


Use Case:

One example is the IODD macro spool output being used to record and monitor the Read and Write block values for our SSD devices (i.e. IODD function getCounts <rscname>)
The collection and exporting of the data (i.e. into an Excel worksheet) can be fully automated.

    A solution is intended, but no commitment is made. At least the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting.
    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize it.

    Instead of requesting this function by using QMGTOOLS, why not make this request to be allowed through base OS using a RTV* command? I think it would be better to programmatically run an AA macro through a function in the base OS versus having to install an AS-IS library that is provided by IBM i support as an evolving data capture/analysis tool.
