New functionality to Restore a Backup to Dataset

The existing zOS Utilities step “Rollback Dataset Step” is capable to restore the previous version from a (automatically created) backup file.

There is a rare case, that a single file from a deployment would need to be restored - in this scenario the existing rollback dataset step cannot be used.

It would be good for this exceptional case, that the a new step would be available to Restore a Backup to Dataset to a user defined target dataset (similar to a pds mapping). To avoid jeopardising the inventory, it would allow the  process to create a new component version, which can be deployed to the required target environment.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
