TSM 6.3 Cognos Data Model not use hardcoded schema name of ITMUSER

See Use Case for our ITM, TDW, TCR, TSM environment. PMR 84654 057 649 opened with TSM 6.3 Cognos Data Model and reports failing with error message "UDA-SQL-0196 The table or view
$object was not found in the dictionary.". This is due to TSM 6.3 Cognos Data Model using a schema name of ITMUSER in the data source. Customers can implement Tivoli Data Warehouse (TDW) tables, views with a different schema name than ITMUSER. We use a DB2 schema name of CANDLE.
...
Other Tivoli products below have changed their Cognos reporting packages to use a schema name of no value instead of ITMUSER in the data source of the Cognos Data Model.
PMR 82965,057,649 with APAR IV21250 for pSeries
PMR 83147,057,649 with APAR IV21805 for ITCAM for Transactions
PMR 83429,057,649 with APAR IV22003 for VMware
ITCAM for SOA was fixed in their beta for the 7.2 release
The above Cognos Data Model, reports works with any schema name used by the customer for their TDW tables, views.
Note: The above listed APARs does not mean another Tivoli ITM product will fix the TSM Cognos Data Model, reports. The fix needs to be within the TSM Cognos reporting package.
...
The name of pSeries, VMware Cognos developer is in PMR 84654 057 649 to be consulted on structure of the Cognos Data Model and further details on above change with Cognos Framework Manager to publish. The above 4 products Cognos reporting packages were changed and sent to me within a few days. The updated Cognos reporting packages were imported and used successfully.
...
If this request is implemented, you can send me the updated TSM Cognos reporting package to import and test.

    Thank you for submitting the request. This is a recognized requirement and a solution appears to be desirable. This request is not in a committed release plan for next year,
    but the theme is aligned with our multi-year strategy, and will be a candidate for our future release. IBM’s plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
