Document Builder should support ETM local streams or it should not list ETM local streams

Document Builder supports local configurations for DNG/RM. It does not support local configurations for ETM. However, ETM local configurations/streams are listed in the UI just as they are for RM/DNG. Selecting a local ETM streams cause the Docume...

ELO-PUB has bloated dta files which need cleaning up when a data source is removed from the template
