Enhance the Query Supervisor for temporary storage thresholds to also apply to the *DATABASE temporary storage buckets

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We have had several rogue queries that used very large amounts of temporary storage.  We have query supervisor thresholds in place, but it did not alert us because the temporary storage was not part of the job itself, but rather the database temporary storage buckets.  When there is unexpected growth in any of the database temporary storage buckets, there needs to be a way to identify and pause the roque query to protect the system from using up all the space in the system ASP.

    IBM has determined that the request is how Query Supervisor storage thresholds are implemented today.

    After discussion with the submitter, it appears that there was a problem with the system configuration. If it turns out that the temporary storage is not being considered by Query Supervisor, a problem should be submitted through support for IBM to investigate.
