What does that mean? If your system has the most recent RSU that the ISV installed but the ISV installed a PTF that you didn't, is it the same service level? >Customer: That's right.

The problem turns out to be due to a PTF that the ISP does not have on, or to be fixed by a PTF that the customer does not have. Unless the holddata have not changed, it is highly unlikely that two systems "at the same service level" actually have the same service. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
