<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The function to add fix support for
products gives you the ability, as a service provider, to support a product
that is not installed on your system.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
<div class="section"><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />As<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span> a service provider, you manage many remote
systems in your network. Each remote system has different products installed.
As the service provider on the source system, you do not want to have to install
all the products on your source system to provide support to your remote systems.
From a financial perspective this can be expensive if you had to have licenses
for each one of those products.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ul><li>When you use the compare and update function with a model system, it compares
only the fixes that are installed. The function does not use fixes that exist
as save files only.</li>
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Products that are installed on your system are not automatically
supported after an upgrade to a new release. If you want to keep the PTF save
files for currently installed products after an upgrade, add support for your
currently installed products before the upgrade.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
