I'm also puzzled about the goal here. The FIXCAT report examines the indicated SMPE environment and calls out all *and only* fixes that are pertinent to this environment. I don't know what I would do with the information OP is seeking.
One previous post in this thread implied that categories are static over time. That can't be true. Categories come and go as new software and hardware become available or go obsolete. References to old releases/models may linger for some time, but there can hardly be references to releases/models yet to be invented. No AI process can tell you what missing fixes are important in your shop, but missing is missing. . .

What do you mean exactly by "review for applicability"? Why do you want to know about all of the FIXCATs from the HOLDs that have been received? Why not limit your scope to only those FIXCATs that identify one or more APAR fixes that have not yet been installed?
