Reopening a Closed Patch Number
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 "
