- Restore
This effort is in support of security VAP testing their z products.
- 2 Systems Programmers who know SMP/E-- Vanessa will be overseeing these folks, getting them to install and configure rocket software in the zRCE product.
- SMP/E is the easy part
- Candidate must understand they'll be configuring tools they haven't configured before.
- Comfortable reading a manual and reaching out if they have any issues-- for the most part will be doing config themselves according to the manual-- if not interpreting correctly should reach out.
- Will be reaching out to the Product Owners/Developers
- If they're familiar with looking around and getting to know their environment will be important
- Can take a look at various configurations
- A lot of different resources
- Might be doing some of the system work as well as the product work.
- Full Product Install
- Working from program directory to installation guide-- one to end number of rocket mainframe products
- Vanessa has a process in place to build these out in a common looking field
- Also will need rapid automation around it in order to do weekly receives
- Some need weekly, some monthly follow up, etc.
- IF products can self-maintain themselves this will be super beneficial
- VAP testing is not needed here
- A product team they brought along will be running the testing
- Won't be doing any of the testing or anything after the testing is completed, knowing the resolution
- Goal:
- To get as many products installed in the zRCE quickly
- Want to really get as many Rocket products exposed as possible
- Want vulnerabilities closed and keep them out of the products
- This is where the SMP part comes in-- and will all be updated on a monthly basis
