PH39307: DOCUMENTATION DEFECT ? ALTERNATE METHOD OF REGENERATING REPORTING SCHEMA NON-EXISTANT

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• In the Administration guide -> Managing the reporting schema ->
  Changes that require the reporting schema to be updated or
  recreated
  There is mention of an incremental way via scripts to regenerate
  the reporting schema:
  
  ?Incrementally through scripts - contact IBM® OpenPages Support
  for assistance in executing special PL/SQL scripts that will
  incrementally update the reporting schema. These scripts are
  maintained by IBM OpenPages with Watson? Support and do not ship
  as part of the product.?
  
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/opw/8.2.0?topic=mrs-changes-that-req
  uire-reporting-schema-be-updated-recreated
  
  Support has no knowledge of this script and in fact, it looks
  like the above statement existed all the way back in OP 6.1.
  Recommended to remove the above to avoid confusion.
