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.

Subject: Re: Can the CSI info alone produce a final list required for full 
resolution of researched PTFs?

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.
