The table shows the different statuses that can be displayed in the results list:
Status Icon Description Applied The fix is fully applied. Superseded The MCE is fully replaced by a later MCE. Partially Superseded One or more of the files included in the fix is replaced by a later MCE (only valid for MCEs). Not Applied The fix is not applied. Partially Applied One or more of the files included in the fix is applied, but not all of them (only valid for fixes that are not MCEs). -
Select a fix in the list. A complete information about the fix and each file that is
included in the fix are displayed. For MCEs, possible dependencies are also shown.
Note: The selected fix will be displayed in bold font in Fix(es) Details. All fixes that contain changes to the database are displayed in blue and if they are MCEs, they cannot be removed once applied.
-
Select the check box of a fix and perform one of these actions:
-
Click Apply to install either the entire fix or particular files associated with the fix. The LifeCycle Manager will analyze the environment and find any conflicts. If there are no conflicts found, the fix will be directly applied. Otherwise, the Apply Fix wizard is started. See Applying a fix.
-
Click Remove to delete either the entire fix or particular files associated with the fix. The fix will be instantly removed from the environment when you click OK to confirm.
Note: For MCEs, you can select to apply multiple MCEs, but actions on individual files cannot be performed. -
- When the task is finished, a window is displayed. Click OK or click View log. You can also go to the Logs tab to view the log file.
