Kurt, >Not exactly what you asked for, but you can order and download the >HOLDDATA, all with HTTPS, using SMP/E RECEIVE ORDER. Read about it here >(watch the wrap: >https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.gim3000/dsetup.htm
I found SMPHOLD when I had already done the receive order. A colleague gave me a pax and a cp statement so this time around I can do my refresh. But: in 3-4 months time I'll do the accept, and then I need fresh holddata so I don't accept anything gone PE in the meantime. Ditto for when we migrate to the z15 this year. I should not have to order ptfs any time I need holddata, and I did not see a way in ShopZ to order only HOLDDATA. So I take it that except for the ftp link on that page there is no other way to get holddata via http/s from a browser. I guess my boss will have to escalate this to management because in my opinion this threatens the stability of z/OS in our installation.
