CDOutput node should have the ability to invoke a predfined C:D process

There is quite a bit of power and flexibility built-in to Connect:Direct, which allows various options while completing a managed file transfer. This functionality is associated the process definition within Connect:Direct. Using the broker CD nodes this flexibility cannot be utilised as the broker generates its own process based on the few options specified within the CD node properties and the Local Environment.

While this functionality is useful performing a basic managed file transfer, it would be more useful if the broker could use or invoke a process that has been defined within C:D itself. This would expose all of the ability within C:D to the broker integration. The default behaviour could remain as is, but with an option on the nodes or the environment or both, to call a process directly.

    Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this idea has been in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. A potential workaround for the interim could perhaps take advantage of the job execution node(https://github.com/ot4i/job-execution-node) although obviously you would ideally prefer a built-in product solution. Whilst we have not yet managed to prioritize a business case for this feature we will maintain its status as Future Consideration for now.

    The lack of this feature prevents us from using this node completely. All our output C:D connections have such a follow-up job like:

    submit D1234567 process snode=CDMVS_DWPT
    st02 run task snode (pgm=XYZCND)
    sysopts="'ADD COND W-CD1234/D1234567 2201'"

    pend;

    There's also some logic in our scripts for these jobs, so we need the following features:

    - static configuration (overwritable in the bar file)
    - policy based configuration
    - dynamic configuration (using pre-set variables in the Environment)
