I meant to add this but got distracted by a phone call.   The information for
the PTFs you need should be in the PSP buckets, and therefore in FIXCAT.
So the easiest way to make sure you have everything you need (not just
Health Checker migration checks) is to run an SMP/E job similar to
this:


//SMPCNTL  DD  *                                                        
  SET BOUNDARY(GLOBAL) .               /* SET TO GLOBAL ZONE        */  
      REPORT MISSINGFIX                /* Identify missing PTFs     */  
             ZONES(RESZ11T)             /* In these target zones     */  
             FIXCAT(                   /* For these categories      */  
               IBM.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V1R12              
               IBM.TargetSystem-RequiredService.z/OS.V1R13              
               IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V1R12                               
               IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V1R13                               
                   ).
