We would be interested in any of our current vendors providing a similar service to RECEIVE ORDER. Currently we pull maintenance from IBM on an almost nightly basis and would love to have the same capability with our other vendors. (Just cos we receive it doesn't mean it needs to be applied !)
It allows us to have all PTF's in a chain already on the system if an emergency fix is required and to see what outstanding fixes are out there. However the vendors would also have to assign relevant holddata, sourceid and PE type information just as IBM does. We do however normally run a Quarterly RSU -1 maintenance philosophy for normal activities .
