John is right on with his response regarding REDO processing (thanks John).
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."
I'll leave that one to you and Kurt. But I'll note that PTF packagers
are a small subset of SMP/E users, so my uninformed opinion is that it's
quite possible there are higher-priority things for them to do...
You could submit a requirement, but John is right that for the
foreseeable future I believe we have many higher-priority items to keep
us busy.
Related question: Is there any query that will show me all elements in
a target zone having a given RMID?
No such query or filtering is provided by SMP/E. You could of course
use LIST. and "FIND" the RMID value in question... crude by effective.
Or you could use the GIMAPI program interface to perform such a query.
