Understanding what the tool is *specifically* doing and knowing what the
took is *supposed* to be doing are completely different.  The first implies
reverse-engineering of the application's code, the second implies knowledge
of your systems.

Saying it's the responsibility of the vendors... I am talking about
situations where you have purchased the software tool, purchased "extended
support" and can now lean on the vendor to respond within the terms of their
SLA.  And you always have to have a plan B in case the vendor can't deliver
on their promises.

In order to script your way around the problem, you have to be willing to go
under the covers enough to understand what is happening so that you can
script to get it done.

>From your initial post it sounded like you were saying that you saw no
reason to understand what was actually happening, "that is the
responsibility of the vendors". If that was what you were saying, there
would be no possible way for you to script around the problem as you would
have no way (and no intention) of understanding what the tool was trying to
do.
