RE: OpsNav PTF comaparison with model system

Larry,

I found when comparing my "target LPAR" from the "model LPAR", many of the PTFs that were listed as missing were actually on the target LPAR as a SAVF, I simply did not load them as of yet.
Now I'm confused, what this compare process uses, SAVF, loaded PTF, or something else?

Biggest gotcha is that the PTFs need to exist somewhere in *SAVFs, even if that's a third system. Without them there you can find out what's missing or extra still but can't do any automatic update. In that case you'd need to go to Fix Central with the list of missing fixes and order them or optionally if you had Images in a catalog somewhere use those.
Still a good function, just not as simple.

My R&D LPAR, which has many PTFs, not part of any group, cum, or TR level.
I'd like use OpsNav PTF comparison to load these missing PTFs on my Production LPAR.
Any gotchas or known issues?

Thank You
