Data Classification Scanning Tool/Application

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Please develop a tool/application that does the following:

-Scans datasets across the entire environment
--IMS, DB2, * etc
-Scans datasets for configurable patterns
--Example: Scans for xxx-xx-xxxx
-Aggregates names of datasets found with patterns for reporting through zSecure
-Related to another RFE: "flags" dataset with a configurable flag or mark based on pattern matching.
--Example: "R" when matching xxx-xx-xxxx, "C" when matching xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx, or "I" when matching xx-xxxxxxx
-Related to above mentioned RFE: If a user defined flag exists, this information will be aggregated for reporting through zSecure and tool will still scan dataset but zSecure will be able to compare the user defined flag versus the tool defined flag.

Tool/Application will NOT:

-Store any information found in datasets, regardless of matching patterns
-Interfere with other uses of datasets
--Example: Open/Close of datasets won't affect other jobs/tasks
-Require dataset specific permissions
-Allow access to datasets or to view data
