I would like to obtain a list of release dates for all the ONTAP 9 versions and P releases. I know that if you are logged into your support account you can see this on the download page, but I would like to look at them without having to go to each version and patch as far back as I can go...

Do you have a specific reason for this and do you have a SAM? If one of my paying customers asked I would prepare it for them
But it would literally be me manually going through some internal documents and collating it

The software changelog is helpful for that. Goes back to May 2018

yep, and then simply filter by software "ONTAP 9" and reason for change "released" to get all the release-dates of P-releases

I'm not signed in at the moment, but does it list all the P release dates as well?

Yes my SAM would do it if I asked, but I am not to do it. I have a workaround using Python and a web scraping module. I just don't understand why the information is under the locked section of the site.
Actually that link is perfect

I'm curious as to the use case for this data?

I still have questions but given the brevity of that answer I suppose we will never know.

@eternal cape what do you wanna know?

probably why an auditor wants to know all ONTAP release dates, even for versions not installed anywhere ... at least that's what I am confused about
minor cairn
Yeah auditors are crazy non-sensical people. This is my opinion at this point, but... I think they are trying to determine what security fixes we skipped by waiting for our next desired release. We, like many others, have sla's on when a critical,high, medium, etc has to be completed. Sometimes we may skip a release because it doesn't have any features or bugs that we need to address. This keeps us on our normal cadence of releases. Nobody installs anything< P4 as it needs to be in the wild long enough to find bugs and other stuff.
Anyhow, I just think they are going to come back and tell us you skipped xyz releases and you are bad. They just don't understand.
