Out of box utility script to run on Sterling nodes to fetch CD adapters certificates for validation to make sure change is reflected on all cluster nodes to avoid impact to customers traffic

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We had a critical incident in our production system (Case TS018513193 Critical issue - All Banks are not able to connect B2Bi Sterling) because of renewed CD certificate was not reflected across all customer nodes of B2Bi.
All Banks are not able to connect to Sterling Integrator because SI node was still presenting old certificate from few SI nodes.
This incident has impacted our Norway customers and Banks missing clearing SLAs.There is huge financial impact for our customers and we require out of box script to run on SI nodes as part of CD Certificate renewal process validation to make sure change is reflected across all SI nodes of cluster.

This CD certificates renewal validation script will help each of the Sterling integrator customers to avoid repeating such kind of critical incidents which will result in meeting the SLAs and customers would be happy if you provide this validation script/utility ASAP.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Your request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme aligns with our current roadmap and, as such, is being tagged for future consideration and is part of our long-term strategy. We cannot commit to a delivery window at this time, but this is something we agree would be beneficial in the product.

    We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    If you have any additional feedback or thoughts, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation. We recommend having discussions with your account team in 9-12 months for roadmap updates.

    Please note: IBM's statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM's sole discretion.
