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
- Unlike other tools, ALL environments are available in a single view as opposed to a single server or application
- This capability could significantly improve system stability, reduce configuration drift, and identify abnormalities before they become problems as opposed to relying on generated alerts after a problem occurs
