CDC DB2z Remote Source With Started Tasks Create Temp Table With an IN clause in the DDL

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently when using started task, a refresh of a table will cause a CREATE Table DDL to run.  The DDL assumed the table will be created with the schema as defined in dmconfigurets program and will create in a default DB2 databases such as DSNDB04 or DSNxxxxxx for version 12 or later.   Some customer does not allow their user to create a table in default database and it will be good idea to allow customer to specify a tablespace or databas name so the temp table will be created in a predefined database.  This can be achieved by having a new option in dmconfigurets to allow customer to add a database and tablespace option.   This collected database and tablespace name can be used in the CREATE TABLE DDL with an IN statement.
