  ****************************************************************
  The purpose of JR43774 is to make upgrade_7x work with -ifix
  flag and using a comma separated list for ifix updates.
  The old usage of upgrade_7x:
  ./upgrade_7x.sh -profileName <profileName>
  which can not specify which fix to update.
  The new usage of  upgrade_7x:
  ./upgrade_7x.sh -profileName <profileName> -ifix
  <ifix1>,<ifix2>,<ifix3>...
  user can specify one or more fix to update. JR43774
  makes
  the DB upgrade more efficient and specific.
  The new upgrade_7x script will not do an entire upgrade
  of
  the database but only update the data related to the APARs
  specified in command line.
