Hello Scott,
sounds great, thank you for your work!
As automation solutions differ among installations I asked for and would suggest and prefer JCL using basic z/os utilities (TSO-Batch, Sort etc.) which could be implemented and scheduled as needed in any jobscheduling subystem.
Is there already an estimated target date for that feature? I'm asking to get a flavour, whether to start own efforts or to wait ...
Wouldn't it be an opportunity of coordinated collaboration among customers, each customer provides one (1) "neutral" sample JCL (only basic z/OS capabilities used, no site specific code) for an assigned specific STIG-check ... :-) ...
Kind regards,
Josef

Hi Joesf,
Thank you for your reply.
We are investigating making the STIG checks automated, and the product management team plans to reach out to customers to discuss this feature.
Best regards,
Scott

Hi Scott,
many thanks to bring attention to the newly provided STIG articles!
Such and all those checks ask downright for automation.
So I'd like to ask, whether you have some sample JCL, from there those checks could be implemented.
I guess, this could be of interest in many installations.
Kind regards,
Josef
