So, I've asked this of folks that have had the same request prior to you. Why not just run the SMPE Receive order for all available maintenance, once for each global zone you have? You get the current enhanced holddata, and you get all available maintenance. That way, when Receive order is broken, and you need that one PTF, maybe you already have it? No one says you have to apply it, but you have it at your fingertips when you do need it.
I don't understand the thought process of just getting holddata, or just *some* of the PTF's. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MIĀ 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Smith, Sean M Sent: Monday, March 4, 2019 2:05 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SMPE Internet Service Retrieval: TRANSFERONLY **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** We have moved exclusively to SMPE internet service retrieval so FTP is no longer an option.
