    Enhance Health Check for ATTLS

    Currently the Health check for ATTLS is the same as the IPSEC health check. However it is not very useful because it does not expose many of the filters and settings used in ATTLS that are not in IPSEC

    zERT - Simple data import

    With the current import UI for zERT one must specify all possible Datasets manually. If you have many Datasets it is very cumbersome to add all of them. Allow generic naming's to import for example.

    z/OSMF Network Configuration Assistant REST API

    We get very often requirements to change the IPSec policy to add/remove IP addresses to the different address groups for IPSec. This is very time consuming as sometimes 10 addresses have to be added, sometime 5 have to be removed and so on. Also, ...
