To reopen a closed patch number
In the Patches Browser, select the closed patch number that you want to reopen.
Select the Reopen command from the Patches menu.
The Reopen command is disabled when you select a patch number that is already open.
The patch number conflict security hook is then called for each entity in the selected patch. The hook is passed the following information.
(user-name, entity-patch-number:user-patch-number:status, entity-name, entity-type, 'R', 0)
The entity-patch-number value is the current patch number of the entity being modified, and is zero (0) if it is new or unset. The user-patch-number value is the patch number currently assigned to the user. The status value is N if the entity is being modified for the first time against the user’s patch number, O if the entity has been modified previously against the user’s patch number and the patch number is still open, or C if the entity has been modified previously against the user's patch number and the patch number is closed (for example, 0:10:N).
If errors are returned from the security hook, the entities that are in error are displayed and the reopen action fails. (For details, see "
