zERT Network Analyzer improvements needed

In order for the zert tool to be useful, from a db2 perspective, we need the following: - A means to schedule loads so that someone does not manually have to log in to the tool and tell it to load the latest dataset of smf data. A batch job we could schedule on the mainframe would be the preferred way to address this - The current import mechanism does not actually load data in to db2. It inserts it. Without commits. An actual load job would be preferred as it is less resource intense and can be scheduled. - If a batch load job cannot be provided, at the very least put some commit logic in the import (note: even with commit logic added, we would still have an issue with the lack of ability to schedule automatic imports)

    .Declining this Idea since it contains three different requirements, each of which needs to be represented in its own dedicated Idea. This will allow us to evaluate and prioritize each requirement independently of the others. Specifically,
    - The first requirement is for some type of batch import capability. We already have Idea https://ibm-z-hardware-and-operating-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/ZOS-I-508 open for this (although its summary focuses on a REST API to the zERT Network Analyzer). Please vote for that requirement to show your support and interest in the function
    - The second requirement is to provide a way to populate the zERT Network Analyzer database using the Db2 LOAD utility. This is something we have considered exploring in the past. Please open a new Idea with a description similar to the underlined text in the previous sentence and any supporting details you would like to add. Based on the research I have done so far, I don?t know how feasible it would be to do this, but it is something I am willing to explore with our Db2 team.
    - The third requirement is to add multiple commit points to the existing import implementation. I agree that this is a valid requirement and would be happy to accept it for consideration in a future release.
