If the vendor does not certify their product at the "current level" then you cannot go forward.
Going with a backlevel component creates an actual positive, not a false positive since the resulting system is NOT up to date.

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
