CA (Broadcom) provides the list of required maintenance on the Compatibility matrix. https://support.ca.com/phpdocs/0/MSPSaccount/COMPAT/zos_compat.HTML The compatibility chart also shows the appropriate FIXCAT that you can use in the apply command if you want to only apply the minimum that is required for compatibility.
We provide FIXCAT holddata in the holddata buckets, which you can find here. https://support.ca.com/us/product-content/recommended-reading/technical-document-index/downloading-holddata-and-assign-statements.html This is the list of all Fix Categories in use at CA. https://support.ca.com/us/product-content/recommended-reading/product-related-technical-information/fixcat-holds-for-ca-products.html RECIEVE ORDER or CSM can get the holddata for you.
