Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If I frequently issue TSO or SSH commands with Zowe Explorer (via right-clicking on a profile), I need to select the TSO/SSH profile to use each time.

Describe the solution you'd like

Frequently we see configs that include profiles nested by LPAR followed by zosmf (e.g., dev1.zosmf). If I right-click on dev1.zosmf and choose to issue a TSO or SSH command, it would be helpful if Zowe Explorer could check for TSO or SSH profiles starting with dev1. to automatically pick the right TSO or SSH profile from my config.

We would need to consider behavior for cases where:

  • there are more than 1 TSO or SSH profile within a parent profile
    • Prompt for user to select a profile (or fallback to default profile?)
  • there are no TSO or SSH profiles within a parent profile
    • Prompt for user to select a profile (or fallback to default profile?)
  • the command is being issued through an extension that uses different profile information (e.g., for Zowe Native Proto, we know which SSH profile to use.)

Describe alternatives you've considered

The option to always use the default TSO profile for issuing TSO commands is useful in cases where I do not need system/lpar-specific settings, but there is no such option for issuing SSH commands.
