Provide job to list the status of all Alerts in a specified C2PCUST dataset

We have potentially 25 LPARs across 5 sysplexes to manage, each with their own set of Alerts (each LPAR has its own C2PCUST library). zSecure Alert provides online (i.e. via ISPF) access to see the status of these alerts. However, signing on to 25 LPARs and then copying down the information is not an appropriate way to manage these Alerts.

We need a job which provides a list of each alert and its complete status.

If the job could be structured so that multiple C2PCUST datasets could be processed together (thus providing the status of each alert across all the LPARs in a sysplex), this would be even better.

    Fully support this. In the compliance space, we have to provide evidence of what security monitoring is in place. This would help simplify the evidence gathering.

    This would definitely assist in our management of Alerts

    I strongly second this proposal.
    This is an urgent requirement for us.

    Further, a batch (scriptable) method to manage Alerts would be far more appropriate for defining and implementing Alerts, and much more DEVOPS and Change Control-compatible, compared to the SE.A.A dialog.
