Abstract

OSP FIND DAMAGED PTFS

Error Description

When there are missing PTF objects, PTF Install encounters      
damage one PTF at a time and fails with an error.  The          
subsequent PTF Install encounters the next damaged PTF, and    
again, needs to be restarted.  This time-consuming process often
results in having to reinstall products and then reinstall the  
PTFs.

When there are missing PTF objects, PTF Install encounters      
damage one PTF at a time and fails with an error.  The          
subsequent PTF Install encounters the next damaged PTF, and

results in having to reinstall products and then reinstall the  
PTFs.                                                          

Problem Conclusion

This change provides the ability to call QPZSYNC with a new    
action parameter value to find all PTFs with missing required  
objects and mark them Damaged.  The damaged PTFs can then      
re-installed without having to reinstall the products.
