    Thank you for submitting this Idea to IBM. I agree adding support in z/OSMF Software Management for SMP/E zone maintenance commands may be helpful, can you please provide some background and more details on how you would use these commands? Your request states the commands "will help automate a few of our routine maintenance tasks in regular process of applying the latest maintenance." Can you please explain these routine maintenance tasks related to your process for installing software updates? Thank you.
