Responsibilities:

• A tool was developed, use while standing up new colo environments that allows us to quickly compare configurations server by server in all environments to identify problem areas.

• The proposal would be to add automation and to display the results in a visual fashion.
• Developers and production support resources can instantly see the current condition of all environments at any given time.
• The data points can include basics like directory structure and ownership, account permissions, or more advanced items such as WebSphere custom configs, database auto-extends settings, and TLS encryption levels.
• Within a couple of months, this could be demo'd for the Check processing as an example for other business lines.
• Most of the key data points are applicable across systems, so it is very portable to other areas.
• The enhanced tool would be valuable for ensuring Colo environment parity ahead of ACH colo cutover.
