    Hi

    i have AIX 5.3 machine oslevel 5300-06.
    i had xlC C++ runtime environment in version V6.
    lslpp -l xlC have seen like this:
    xlC.aix50.rte 6.0.0.13 COMMITTED C Set ++ Runtime for AIX 5.0
    xlC.rte 6.0.0.0 COMMITTED C Set ++ Runtime

    i've upgraded the xlC runtime environment to V9 in order to check our application.
    but i've installed it in applied state so i could reject it and get back to V6 without any problems.
    so after installation it was looks like this:
    xlC.aix50.rte 9.0.0.0 APPLIED XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX 5.2
    xlC.rte 9.0.0.0 APPLIED XL C/C++ Runtime

    now, when i've tried to reject the software with smitty its seems that it worked, i got messages in the log with the entries "xlC.aix50.rte REJECTED", etc.

    but!!!!
    when i'm doing now lslpp -l xlC this is what i'm getting:
    xlC.aix50.rte 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX 5.2
    xlC.rte 9.0.0.0 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime

    like, he just did a COMMIT command!
    how that can be?

    all this idea of applied, reject,commit commands doesnt really work on every software? its only for service updates?

    Please help

    Thanks

    I am not sure but i think that from AIX 5.3, you can not reject applied patch. But again i m not sure.
