Software, as a matter of principle, should install cleanly and without disrupting the operating environment. The vendor is clearly in error.
Peter -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: February 3, 2009 10:53 To: [email protected] Subject: Philosophical question... Background: Upgrading a system to current level. Have a vendor product that insists on the installation of a backlevel component application that causes the configuration and service management system to report errors in the configuration. Vendor insists that the backlevel component is the only way, but the errors cause problems with future upgrades and overall configuration management by reporting false positives when checked for whether the system is up to date and has all service applied. Question: I believe the maker of the vendor product is in error here. Am I wrong? -- db The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
