I am running some reports via PCA and had a quick question about the

host. For example can I get pca to report that I am missing 20 out of a
possible 2

patches missing.
For a give Xref file (which date you downloaded), PCA gives you all the
missing patches for a server to that date.
@ our company, we set dates for each quarter and use only those Xref files

seems to be valid but would also become a administrative issue as new

Yes, I download Xref File everyday and archive it. Every quarter we use 1
Xref file which is at least 3 months old. And we create a patch bundle on a
central server. Have a few wrappers written up to create the bundle and
