This is the sort of question that can only (I hope) arise in a development and test environment, not in production.
Suppose I build a PTF and APPLY it. I have second thoughts, and rebuild it with a considerably different set of elements from the original; RECEIVE; and APPLY REDO. Is the result the same as if the earlier version had never existed and only the later were APPLYed, or is it some sort of merging of the two different versions? Recent unpleasant experience suggests that it merges rather than replaces: elements may appear with the RMID of the PTF, even though they are not present in the later version, only the earlier. How do I undo this mess? I suspect I might as well delete the CSI and rebuild. This surely provokes a wishlist item: If I attempt APPLY REDO, and there are elements in the target zone with the RMID of the PTF, but not in the PTF itself, SMP/E should report an error and fail the APPLY. M&C should suggest "Programmer Action: Perform RESTORE and only then retry the APPLY." Related question: Is there any query that will show me all elements in a target zone having a given RMID? -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
