In support of IBM network infrastructure improvements, on 19 June 2022, public IP addresses were changed for the IBM download servers that host files such as IBM Enhanced HOLDDATA and the IBM Product Information File (IBMProductEOS.txt), which is consumed by z/OSMF Software Management.  The IP addresses for these servers have changed so any applications using the IP address need to be updated. Hostnames remain the same.  Firewall rules might need updating to permit access even though the applications use a hostname.  Do not remove the current IP addresses because they are still used for other delivery functions.  Instead, the new IP addresses should be added.
