2. The collection utility can be found taking these options

NOTE: All servers enforce authentication. For Web access, you need to authenticate with your IBMid .

For FTPS and SFTP servers, you need to create an IBM Support File Transfer ID . The IBM Support File Transfer ID is valid until revoked. The password part of it is only displayed at creation time. If you are loosing this password, you need to delete the ID and create a new one. IBM now can require a transfer ID to submit data.

Please create a transfer ID and and password: https://www.secure.ecurep.ibm.com/transferids/

The above screen is using that and it's also using the *STORED values. (reference document is added on how to store)

Rather than using the menu options, the command can be accessed directly with QMGTOOLS/IMCOL.

Example:

QMGTOOLS/IMCOL EXP_CONF(Y) FTPRSP(Y) FTPTYPE(*HTTPS) CASE_NBR(TSXXXXXXXXX)
