looks like we've been locked out ftp(ing) from the IBM site to receive enhanced holddata, does anyone know of an alternate to get only the data ? I cannot FTP from my systems or my PC :cry:

IBM has been pushing the conversion to secure FTP for quite some time now.

I see, and at one time, back with I installed 2.1 I had the ability to download from my browser to my PC, now HITRUST Enterprise security deems this unnecessary :(
I've been looking for some samples of downloading using SMP/E using a batch job, I have downloaded a keyring from IBM, I'm having a problem getting the cert in the correct format.
I uploaded the cert from my PC binary, but I'm not sure what LRECL and RECFM it should be in to import into top-secret

IBM Support provided me the correct doc on how to receive holddata via https, I have this setup at my former shop btu didn't have any samples locally
here's a link if someone needs some guidance

SMP/E RECEIVE ORDER has the ability to order HOLDDATA only and RECEIVE it direct to host using HTTPS.

Shopz service orders also deliver holddata with PTFs ordered. You could also save the file on your c: drive and upload the
file to your z/OS host once inside your intranet.
