Upgrade... help!!

[Roger Boucher <RBoucher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are planning on upgrading our from V4R1 to V4R3 tonight.  We VERY
recently applied all our PTF's perm and just to make sure I went and
looked.  A WHOLE bunch of temp PTFs!!  Service Director maybe?  Someone
ordering PTF's I don't know about?  Anyway, what are the ramifications
of attempting to upgrade tonight with all these temp PTFs?

Thank you for any help.

What happens is all the PTFs on the "B" side get copied to the "A". Now
the A
and B sides are equal. The B side is always there.
