Compare Fix Repository to List of Available Updates menu

The Compare Fix Repository to List of Available Updates menu allows you to compare the filesets in a fix repository, such as a fix directory or lpp_source, to a downloaded list of available updates from the IBM® System p service Web site.

The report list that is generated contains information on filesets in the fix directory that are back-level from latest (lowerthanlatest2.rpt).

The Compare Fix Repository to List of Available Updates option is available using the SMIT fixtolist_compare fast path or the compare_report command with the following options:

compare_report -i FixDir -r ServiceReport [ -t ReportDir -Z | -v ]
