UBROKER Enhancements

Description

B-08841

Local Broker should only send UCTL -stop to UCMSRV host when zOS UCMMGR is cancelled

The UBROKER on zOS has been changed to only pass to UControl the specific host that a Universal Command manager was connected to in the event of needing to send a stop command to the Universal command Server when the zOS Universal Command Manager is cancelled.
 
Previously if the user has specified a very long host list in the Universal command Manager, the resulting Universal Control invocation could produce one of a number of different error conditions.
