SMP/E automation

We want the ability via a rest service/reset API to go somewhere on the web and get a list of fixes that are available for an SMP based product. There should be a rest endpoint that tells me the latest version and be able to grab it. Would also include a readable form of holddata. We have been working with Frank De Gilio and Jovanna's team on this idea.

    Hi. I looked around. Unfortunately I can not say what product would be the best to ask this feature for. As I understand you want to have an API to check SMP based products to see if there are updates. It sounds for me that this has to be addressed on a non-product level from IBM "Shop-Z" Infrastructure. You can try to address them and ask for an API: https://www.ibm.com/software/shopzseries/ShopzSeries_public.wss?action=service

    Hi. Thanks for letting us know your idea. However, I think that this is not really a function that can/should be provided by this product "Z System Automation", for which you just opened this idea - if I misunderstood - can you please explain what we can do here?
