Generating a Patch Report for a Specific Patch

This procedure generates a report that displays all servers patched with a specific patch.

As with other PAIR reporting features, executing the commands in this procedure does not connect with the target servers and retrieve patch information. The report output is cached patch state data and is only as current as the last refresh. To retrieve the latest patch information from a given server, or all servers, see Refresh Patch Information.
