try this tip:
If you run into the case where you have put a product or patch on the Framework,
and

you then try to install a patch or product that is older and you get the error
message that

the patch or product is subsumed, you may recover by doing the following.

1. Remove all reference to the patch or product in your managed node .installed
files.

2. The error is Product and or patch  has been subsumed:


 wlookup -ar PatchInfo
3.1-TMP-0002    1997933334.1.485#TMF_Install::PatchInfo#
Inventory_3.1   1997933334.1.683#TMF_Install::PatchInfo#
TMF_3.1_SP1     1997933334.1.511#TMF_Install::PatchInfo#

 wregister -u -r PatchInfo Inventory_3.1

 This will unregister the patch Inventory_3.1

 wlookup -ar ProductInfo

 This will give you a listing of currently registered products.

  wregister -u -r ProductInfo Inventory_3.1

Now you should be able to go back and install the older patch and product.

Subject:  Removing a patch from FrameWork/Netview?




hi all,

 Is there a way to remove a patch that was installed on Framework or on Netview
selectively? ( like the NVTMP311 patch )

thanks,

Andr
