I should have mentioned, there is an existing Idea open that requests support in Software Update for REJECT and RESTORE, as well as ACCEPT. Feel free to add your vote if this is important and useful to you.

Norbert, no, the z/OSMF Software Management and Software Update applications do not have a function to drive the SMP/E REJECT or RESTORE commands.

Hi folks,
we from MQ team are not very familiar with z/OSMF.
We would like to know if there is a functionality that is equivalent to SMP/E REJECT .
The bunch of PTF's are applied but not accepted.
Many thanks in advance !
