This tool reduced time required to perform daily monitoring tasks from a full day down to 30 minutes. It also read and summarized Syslogs for quick review, sent users and account owners status of their TSO/batch ACIDs, created weekly & monthly SAS graphs for trending, backed up daily data in GDGs for historical reporting, and also ran monthly Baseline Security Configuration reports (included DB2-SQL extracts). I wrote 60,000 lines of REXX, JCL/utilities, ISPF panels and SAS Base code to complete this project.
