Local fix

Problem summary

• - The URLs are out of date in web samples.
  - Quick filters added from a column heading on an aggregated
  view can sometimes have an incorrect value.
  - Quick filters added to an aggregated date attribute sometimes
  have the wrong format.
  - When creating a new URI Map definition using "New From",
  UnhandledEventLoopExceptions occur in the CICS Explorer error
  log.
  - The Application Definition wizard doesn't mark the name field
  as mandatory.
  - Deleted views are erroneously recreated when CICS Explorer is
  restarted.
  - Quick filters show the '==' operator rather than the '='
  operator.
  - It is not possible to reset CICS region statistics or to
  collect individual component statistics.
  - In a resource view that is aggregated, summarised rows are not
  able to have quick filters applied.

  view no longer have an incorrect value.

  marked as mandatory.
  - Deleted views are no longer recreated when CICS Explorer is
  restarted.
  - Quick filters now show the '=' operator correctly.
