Add DBNAME (Database/Domain) Visibility for Db2 for z/OS Assets on IBM Knowledge Catalog

Large Db2 for z/OS environments commonly use DBNAME as the primary logical structure to organize transactional systems, business domains, and data ownership boundaries.

Today, IBM Knowledge Catalog imports Db2 for z/OS assets without exposing the DBNAME layer, displaying assets directly under the connection and schema hierarchy. As a result, important business context is lost during cataloging and governance activities.

For customers such as Bradesco, DBNAME represents a business domain or transactional system (e.g. CADU, ANACD000, ACBCD000) and is essential for catalog organization, asset traceability, navigation, and future lineage initiatives.

The requested enhancement is to expose DBNAME as part of the asset context and navigation hierarchy, allowing users to browse assets using the following structure:

Connection → Database/Domain (DBNAME) → Schema → Table

This would improve usability, governance, asset discoverability, and alignment with how enterprise customers organize and manage their Db2 for z/OS environments.
