API/ Plugin to be used for data transferring to vendors- using zOSMF FTP servers definition

Create an API or plugin to be used to transfer data to vendors. we already have all vendors defined on zosmf FTP server definitions I know incident log has this features, including adding any dataset to an existing incident log entry, but we´re not able to create an new incident log entry if we don´t have a valid dump dataset to be added to the sysplex dump directory, this is for data related to abends or other type of dataset ; USS files, job sysouts, parmlib datasets, etc. Idea is to have a plugin or rest API similar to incident log that could be used for datasets and USS files without svc dump dataset requirement.


I've also received this same question from different clients using incident log: Is it possible to have a new snapshot with the sysout of job/ stc that generated the svc dump? because this is an usual request from level2 during these issues.

    You can manually create an incident without a dump data set. Once it is created, you can attach data sets or Unix files and send them to IBM or ISVs using Incident Log. Do you think this can address the first part of your requirement? Thank you!
