Re: systools. group_ptf_currency Secuirty Concern Responses

I had our network folks open the firewall so that our Production, Test and
DR machines could access
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/PSPbyNumL.xml?OpenView&count=500
and have the systools.group_ptf_currency view work properly.I've now been
requested to meet with our security folks regarding this request.

I assume that they are going to have security concerns and are potentially
looking to block this site again. Has anyone had to respond to any
inquiries from security or auditors regarding loading the xml table from
IBM? It seems pretty innocuous to me, but perhaps I'm missing something
larger but in any case I'd like to be prepared to assuage any security
concerns as I would really like to use this view rather than having to
compare a 5250 screen to a webpage every month.
