CA does provide a process to take the scart0.zip file and get it into a format that RECEIVE FROMNTS can use.
I was fortunate in that I could FTP both the hold data and scart0.zip directly to my mainframe. For those who cannot directly FTP from CA, this works rather well, you just need to add an intermediate step to FTP the data somewhere that you can then send to your mainframe. Once the data is where it needs to be, all that is left is to run the TSO command CAUNZIP followed by SMPE RECEIVE FROMNTS. This was a good first step... But kudos to CA for implementing SMPE RECEIVE ORDER. Now, we use the exact same process to receive our maintenance from CA that we have long been doing from IBM. Single batch job (per global zone) scheduled to run weekly that in a single job step receives all hold data and all available maintenance.
