Allow Spectrum Protect Plus to restore database to different instance using existing database name

I backup a database EXAMPLE on one server(prodserver) under instance Prodinst1. I have a test server(testserver) with instance Testinst1. As part of testing, our developers use testserver/TestInst1 database EXAMPLE.

SPP backs up the database on prodserver1. User requests a fresh copy of the production database for testing. Using the GUI, I restore prodserver/Prodinst1/EXAMPLE to testserver/Testinst1/EXAMPLE. This fails.

I can restore to testserver/Prodinst1/EXAMPLE or testserver/Testinst1/NEWEXAMPLE and then use db2relocatedb to move to where I need.

Want to avoid this last step.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    Hello, is this for SPP or SP? SPP is mentioned but the content suggests this is for SP.
