automated access to IBM Z Security Portal HOLDDATA needed

The current process for accessing z/OS security patch information requires browser based access to ResourceLink. We need an automated way to download the Security (Sec/Int=Y) HOLDDATA from the IBM Z Security Portal similar to as we already have for the “normal” enhanced HOLDDATA available and used today.

The best choice would be to have the security HOLDDATA automatically combined with the “normal” enhanced HOLDDATA, so that one download action contains both sources of enhanced HOLDDATA.

The solution should make it possible to retrieve the combined enhanced HOLDDATA directly from the z/OS system using provided tooling or techniques used today, such as FTP.
