How do I handle patch dependencies?
VCM Patching. The SCR Tool will download all of the necessary patches to ensure that all patch
dependencies can be met when deployed with VCM Patching. This excludes superceded patches.
What do I do if I think a patch is missing? Delete the corresponding .pls file for the missing patch, and
then download the content again. See "More patches are available on the vendor site than listed on the
download site.
How can I view the parameters used when executing the script? The -configlog parameter specifies
an output file where a list of command line parameters and values will be written. These values reflect the
parameter configuration used during the last (or current) execution of the SCR Tool.
