- Pretty close, Keith...you missed a couple states. PTFs are what ultimately
- get ordered, but there are intermediate states before a bug results in a
- PTF.
-
- Customer call: -> PMR -> APAR -> CMVC "defect" -> PTF
-
- Internal report: -> CMVC "defect" -> APAR/PTF
-
- The bug Rich mentioned has reached the CMVC "defect" stage and has a code
- fix dropped, but has not been built or packaged as a PTF yet. If you call
- defect support, they can put you on a list of folks waiting for that APAR.
- When the PTF pops out, you will get it.
