We do offer RECEIVE order now for PTFs and holddata. Here is information on getting started: https://support.ca.com/us/product-content/status/announcement-documents/2018/ca-smp-e-receive-order---maintenance-delivery-made-easy.html
Having said that, we are going have a brief period of limited availability this weekend for a hardware upgrade. https://support.ca.com/us/product-content/status/announcement-documents/2018/internet-service-retrieval-using-smp-e-receive-order-outage.html During this period, PTFs, APARs, and holddata will continue to be available on CA Support Online, which means MSM will be able to perform its acquisition task via Support Online. We make both Error Holddata and FIXCAT Holddata available, plus HIPER and PRP source IDs, so if all of that is received into the CSI, REPORT MISSINGFIX would provide reliable information.

We run a nightly job for every CSI to pull all enhanced HoldData and PTFs for each IBM CSI so we will have both all closed PTF's and also any relevant Holddata/PE information. This means our CSI are as current as then can be when doing Apply Check/Applys (but doesn't stop anything going PE'd the next day) For the 3rd Party software we would LOVE to be in the same position - CA is getting closer but not quite there yet.
