Receive everything, including the HOLDDATA. Then, and only then, will your CSI have everything it needs to resolve your query.

Hi All, Normally, the process of resolving all REQ/PREREQ/IFREQ requirements for given PTF(s) and collecting all missing items that prevent resolution, up to the point where APPLY CHECK suggests that actual APPLY could be successful could require several iterations. Is there a shorter path to resolving all requirements other than ship the contents of your CSI to a support center for analysis and preparing a list of all requirements? I'm not talking about IBM software. It is about maintenance of another vendor's software. People here at our shop think all the information required for a full resolution is already in the CSI and only needs to be gleaned and analyzed in order to prepare a final list of missing items, while I think otherwise and maintain that the CSI alone does not contain all the info required for compiling such a list. You have to have access to a repository style IBM's Enhanced HOLDDATA, which this vendor does not have, you have to pull and receive HOLDDATA, and you might still have to iterate several times before full resolution is attained.
