Netezza scanner should handle the negative or edge scenario when access to _T_ENVIRON is not granted by DBA.

Why is it useful?

Make the Manta product predictable and robust to negative or edge cases as described in IBM ticket TS017897390

Who would benefit from it?

End users

How should it work?

Update the documentation that in the event when DBA don't grant permission to system view _T_ENVIRON.  The workaround is to  set “User-set host name” in Netezza connection form using Manta Admin UI. However, if some verbiage around this workaround can be added in the helper text for this property "User-set host name" Netezza connection form in Manta Admin UI.
